The FMS Level IIIA Body Armor is the workhorse of the Armor Express concealable panel lineup.

Made from a unique mix of Twaron Aramid and Twaron laminates, the FMS Level IIIA Body Armor comes in at an affordable price point for tight budgets. The FMS features the Equinox Carrier System, which features a poly-cotton outer shell and an inner Breeze Knit lining for lightweight, breathable comfort.

The Breeze Knit lining is anti-microbial treated and offers moisture-wicking properties. The carrier includes dual plate pockets on the front that can accommodate either 5”x8” or 7”x10” inserts for added protection; an inner suspension system is designed to hold the protective panels in place and prevent them from sagging. This body armor also includes a soft trauma pack made of laminated Aramid fiber and waterproof ripstop fabric for use in emergency situations.

Lightweight, comfortable, and very durable, Armor Express's FMS Level IIIA Body Armor is a powerful piece of personal equipment that will effectively protect you from many ballistic threats.
