BulletSafe · BS52005B
NIJ-Certified Level IIIA.
Concealable. All-Day Comfortable.
The BulletSafe VP4 Concealable Bulletproof Vest delivers full NIJ Level IIIA protection in a low-profile carrier designed to wear invisibly under a uniform shirt, dress shirt, or civilian clothing. For security professionals and plainclothes personnel who need certified protection that doesn’t announce itself, the VP4 Concealable is purpose-built for exactly that mission — at a price that doesn’t require a department budget to justify.
01
NIJ 0101.06 Certified & Listed
Full NIJ certification — not just tested to standards, but independently verified and listed on the NIJ Compliant Products List. Consequently, the VP4 Concealable satisfies licensing boards, contract requirements, and agency procurement programs that specify NIJ-certified armor.
02
CLS — Comfortable Lightweight System Panels
The VP4 Concealable uses BulletSafe’s CLS (Comfortable Lightweight System) armor panels — specifically engineered for concealable wear. Softer and more flexible than the RLA panels in the VP4 Advanced, CLS panels conform better to the body for reduced printing and improved all-day comfort.
03
Low-Profile Carrier — Minimal Printing
The hook-and-loop fastener system provides a snug, close fit. Soft edges specifically eliminate the hard lines that cause printing under clothing. As a result, the vest remains undetectable under a standard uniform shirt or dress shirt without requiring special tailoring.
04
Made in the USA · 5-Year Warranty
Manufactured in the United States with a 5-year warranty from BulletSafe. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in both the carrier and the ballistic panels under normal use conditions.

Who Is the VP4 Concealable Right For?
Plainclothes Security
Executive Protection & Plainclothes Officers
Security professionals operating in plainclothes or executive protection roles need certified protection that doesn’t reveal itself under a dress shirt or suit jacket. The VP4 Concealable’s CLS panel system and soft-edge carrier specifically address this requirement — delivering IIIA-rated handgun protection with minimal visible profile under professional attire.
Note: Verify your contract or licensing requirements specify NIJ certification level. The VP4 Concealable meets NIJ IIIA certification requirements.
Daily Concealed Wear
Civilians & Off-Duty Professionals
For individuals who want certified protection for everyday carry under civilian clothing, the VP4 Concealable delivers NIJ IIIA coverage at a price point that makes daily wear practical. Because it’s designed specifically for extended concealed wear, comfort over a full day is built into the panel and carrier design — not an afterthought.
Legal note: Federal law (18 U.S.C. § 931) prohibits purchase or possession by convicted felons. Buyer’s sole responsibility to verify eligibility.
Sizing Guidance
Select your size based on your chest measurement. The VP4 Concealable uses Alpha sizing. For concealable vests, fit is particularly important — armor that is too loose will shift during wear, reducing coverage and comfort. If between sizes, consult our specialists before ordering.
