When ordering outside of United States of America, the recipient is responsible for assuring the product can be legally imported to the destination country.
The recipient is the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are imposed once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be fulfilled by the recipient. 221B Tactical has no control over these charges, nor can predict what they may be.

Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for more information. When customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates.
To avoid a delay in receiving your order from customs, we strongly suggest:
Providing a phone number where you can be reached by customs when your product arrives. This phone number will be listed on the commercial invoice so customs can reach you to clear your order.

We do not refund original shipping charges for goods that are refused for delivery at customs.

WHY YOU NEED THIS
Crime is spiking everywhere you look. Your safety is paramount. At the end of the day, you want and need to get home alive.
There are times you need body armor protection but you don't want to deal with the discomfort associated with wearing it. That's why I developed The Stealth Ultra-Light Concealed Body Armor Carrier. The thinnest, lightest, most comfortable body armor carrier ever created.
Not only is it extremely light and comfortable, it's ultra-thin design helps prevent people from knowing you're even wearing it. Once you experience the sense of security while wearing it, you'll never leave home without it.
Suresh Madhavan: 13 Year Law Enforcement Veteran, Firearms Instructor and Designer of the Stealth Vest
HOW IT WORKS
The Stealth Concealed Body Armor Carrier features an all new ultra-thin, ultra-light Level IIIA body armor. This new soft and flexible body armor beautifully conforms to your body making you forget you're even wearing it. No buckles. No chunky shoulder straps. No thick cummerbunds. Every aspect of this civilian body armor was designed to be as thin and comfortable as possible without compromising your safety.
The Stealth carrier holds standard 10X12 soft body armor panels but can also hold hard armor plates if desired. The soft armor panles offered with The Stealth are Dual Threat which means they also help protect against stabbings and slashing.
The front of The Stealth concealed body armor carrier features a hook and loop fastener strip for identification patches as well as two (2) low profile pockets which can hold pistol and AR mags, cash, credit cards, ID or cell phones.

*** Legacy Armor Plates may ship separately.

Due to recent legislation, all types of gunfire-protective armor can no longer be shipped within NY. Sales are only allowed in person to eligible professions (Ex: Police Officers, Security Guards, Firefighters, etc.). Please contact us at support@221btactical.com if you have any questions.
By far the best covert option anywhere at this price range. Conceals well, very adjustable for a custom fit. I'm 6'1" 200 and normally wear a size large or smedium size shirt. Carrier perfectly places the front plate from my clavicle to about 1 inch above my navel. Barely noticeable even under a well fitting size large sweatshirt. The Legacy 3a dual threat panels are surprisingly thin at around 0.38" by my measurements. Also a great company to support.
Thanks for your review! Glad you noticed the benefits of this specific product from 221B, and that you're highly satisfied with your purchase. Keep safe and well!

Great vest
I love this vest, it's light and comfortable. Helps with my back issues. And it enables me to look less intimidating than the external carrier and everything on it. Looks less like military, great when working grade school.

Comfortable and great quality
I’ve been wearing this vest 5 days out of the week. Under my work polo. Comfortable and hides very well for bank security
