APJ™ Armored Puffer Jacket

Stylish, warm, functional and BULLETPROOF

Protect yourself from cold weather and ballistic threats at the same time with our discrete Armored Puffer Jacket.

Designed to resemble a classic down jacket, this undercover vest hides in plain view – appearing wholly unremarkable to the outside world. Protecting from handguns and fragmentation, this jacket seamlessly blends into everyday life in both form and function.

EXPANDING THE PROTECTION AREA

Armor inserts are virtually invisible at first sight, but they are designed to offer the maximum possible area of protection for the operator.

Adapt To Your Environment

Our soft armor panels cover a wide range of ballistic threats from handguns to explosive fragmentation – find which protection level suits your needs.

TRULY Concealed Vest

A specially designed Velco-lined pocket fitted with a universal holster lets you carry a pistol undetected. Furthermore, the placement allows you to discreetly hold your weapon at the ready – combining both passive and active concealed protection.

Superior Comfort

We considered all scenarios when designing our armored jackets. A dual zipper allows for partial opening of the vest from top and bottom – delivering greater comfort when driving or sitting, so you never need to take your vest off.

Stay Invisible

You never know when danger strikes, so we’ve created stylish ballistic armor for usage every day and everywhere. Resembling a down vest hoodie, the APV™ vest blends seamlessly into everyday life, hiding in direct view – it’s as covert as it gets.

Materials Matter

We follow MIL-SPEC standards to ensure uncompromising functionality, durability, and longevity in combat conditions. Our products are built to last and manufactured with a quality you can rely on.

I was waiting for this one to come in blue because it is even more unnoticeable in the winter crowd. Excellent for VIP protection as you just look like one of the guys and you can fit you CC and everything inside.

Not the warmest jacket, but clearly enough space for more clothes underneath. I was expecting a lot of weight because the armour is everywhere, but that is not the case, more like a perka or something.

This is a great product and excellent for sales-people and anyone traveling through unfamiliar terrain. All of my phones, notes, wallet, cards, and such fit easily inside a jacket, at it actually has a bit more space than a regular puffer jacket. Warmth-wise you might need a thicker base layer, but noting major.

FAQ

Is it possible to use APJ™ as covert armor under clothing?

Absolutely.
As it is only slightly thicker than normal civilian apparel, the AH™ can be worn under any clothing, regardless of how thin it is. Also, it can be worn in the open as covert armor as it perfectly resembles casual clothes.

Is it possible to wash the APJ™

Yes.
You will need to remove the ballistic panels, as they are not washable. Once they are out, it is completely possible to machine-wash the shirt and dry it as you would with regular clothing. Return the ballistic panel inside only once the shirt is dry.

Is it possible to use a single set of armor with two APJ™?

Yes.
If you need ballistic protection regularly, buying multiple shirts and a single ballistic panel would be advisable. That way, you can wear a new clean shirt every day without needing a dedicated panel for each one.

How to choose my perfect fit size?

By measuring your chest and waist.
Your perfect fit is a combination of the size of the plate and the cummerbund. For that, you will need to measure your chest and waist and can then get an ideal combination.
At the top of the page, there is a Size Chart where you can select the option Determine Size, showing you which size will fit your requirements.

Is it possible to install hard plates inside APJ™?

No.
If you want to stay covert while adding protection against rifles, you will need to use a low-profile plate carrier like the WPC™ Weightless Plate Carrier. In such a combination, you can still wear almost any type of clothes over your armor without it being noticeable.
