An integrated body armor garment (10) for providing protection to a wearer against ballistic impacts. The garment (10) has a body portion and a ballistic resistant armor system. The body portion can have an outer shell (90) and an underlayer (98);, and the armor system can be embedded within the body portion between the outer shell (90) and the underlayer (98). The garment (10) can be an upper body garment with a torso portion (14) and left and right arm sleeves (18, 20) and a ballistic -resistant collar (16), and the armor system can be an upper torso armor system with body armor panels (60, 62, 64, 70, 71, 72) overlapping in a reverse shingle configuration. The armor system can have a plurality of armor panels (60, 62, 64, 70, 71, 72) connected by a resilient cord (68, 69, 80) or other elastic suspension network. The network can be adjustable, as by a cinching of the cord 68, 69, 80, to permit the body armor panels (60, 62, 64, 70, 71, 72) to be adjusted in relative position. |
