• Designed to look like a uniform shirt when worn over a StreetShirt, ArmorSkinhelps to maintain a professional appearance and your tactical advantage in the field
• Universal armor fit and easy adjustment at shoulders and sides allows your existing ballistic armor and carrier to be fitted and worn exactly as it would under a uniform shirt and according to the manufacturer’s instructions
• Mesh lining and side panels are lightweight and provide more breathability and quick-dry comfort
• Side openings with stretch nylon mesh and two-way zippers offer advanced mobility, quick donning and doffing, and more coverage
• Pleated patch pockets with scalloped flaps, pencil slots and hook and loop closure
• Epaulets
• Center mic tab

Blauer’s Revolutionary ArmorSkin is the new way to wear concealed body armor. ArmorSkin is the first ballistic vest cover system for law enforcement that provides relief from the heat and discomfort of conventional carriers, maintains a uniform look, and helps to alleviate lower back and hip pain. The system consists of the ArmorSkin vest, which covers your existing carrier, a StreetShirt – our performance uniform shirt – worn as a base-layer or as an alternate uniform shirt, and an optional duty belt suspension system integrated into the vest.

Blauer just announced on their Facebook page that they are coming out with a new line of graphic t-shirts. Here are the ones that are announced so far:

Starting today, we have updated our Blauer ArmorSkin items with the current pricing and will be taking preorders on them. The ArmorSkin items are scheduled to ship in May.

Also, we have a great testimonial from one of the first ArmorSkin weartesters:

I have been wearing the Blauer Armorskin for approximately three months now and I’ve got to tell you, I couldn’t be happier with it.

I think I told you guys that I haven’t worn a vest in the last thirteen or so years, but since you had me wear test this carrier, I’ve worn it every shift since.

I am grateful that I have it. It not only is very comfortable but very durable and matches my other uniform shirts and pants perfectly.

I’ve worn it it with your undershirt and also with a regular supershirt underneath and both look great.

The zippers on either side make it so easy to put it on and take it off. It’s great if you are @ the station typing a report, you can take it off in seconds.

When I’m in the cruiser, I unzipper one side for even more comfort. Also, the new undershirt is very professional looking.

The other officers at work can’t wait to get them. Many of them can’t tell I’m wearing the carrier because it blends in so well and looks like one shirt.

Not only does it look great, but it gives me a greater sense of confidence knowing i have it on going to calls.

I can’t thank you enough for getting me to wear my vest again after such a long time without it. I never thought I’d wear it again.

Hope all is well with you and your families.

Thanks again, JW

Blauer ArmorSkin

Brand new from Blauer, the ArmorSkin will revolutionize the way body armor is worn. The ArmorSkin system is composed of the ArmorSkin vest, a performance uniform StreetShirt and an optional duty belt suspension system. When worn together, the ArmorSkin / StreetShirt combination is designed to look just like a uniform shirt. By integrating the uniform shirt and body armor it allows for a better ventilated and more comfortable option than wearing a carrier underneath your uniform. It also allows you to remove your armor while still wearing the StreetShirt.
