The armor cover pars (16a, b; 17; 18) of the front section (3) furthermore comprises at least one upper plate-formed armor covert part (16a, b) for substantially covering the chest region of a person wearing the waistcoat and at least one lower plate-formed armor cover part (17; 18) for substantially covering the abdominal region of the person, and said armor cover parts are arranged in partly overlapping relationship to each other.
