Protective body armor garment shell

摘要

A protective body armor garment shell is disclosed which has a front panel and a back panel made of a lightweight material and having features simulating a uniform shirt such that the garment shell can be worn over or in place of a standard uniform shirt and maintain a professional appearance while concealing the fact that body armor is being worn. The back panel is attached to the body utilizing a belt which firmly retains the garment to the body even when the front panel is loosely draped across the chest. The drapable feature allows a person wearing the garment to loosen the front panel to provide ventilation while maintaining the garment on the body, to maximize comfort.
