I have a PC and plates but now I'm looking to get a new carrier, I do plan on getting the PIG from SDK at some point in the future but as of right now I'm looking at the  BALCS LVR Would this work as a concealable carrier?

i dont see that being very concealable, to many straps, buckles, etc...that will show through clothing. Concealable under a coat maybe but not under a t-shirt or sweatshirt.

I would recommend a level II concealable vest, like something a police officer would wear, they are thinner than the lvl 3A BALCS. They stop most of the same rounds but will leave you with more blunt trauma.

I contacted Beez earlier today and I guess I got a hold of a person who understand me as I got refereed to bulletproofme.com and contacted them who advised me of that and directed me to this

I don' t know why I never think of them though.

Also looks very easy to conceal

Is BALCS a concealable armor cut?  Or do the side wraps double up and make it bulky?

I have a vest with NYPD cut style and is concealable but I was wondering if I should have went BALCS to get more coverage while still being able to conceal?

That vest is great, but as with all vests, not 100% concealable under all conditions.  With a loose fitting overshirt, it would take someone with knowledge looking for it to ID it.  With just a loose t-shirt, it is pretty obvious.

That being said, I wouldn't have bought any other.  And bulleproofme.com are good people, you can not be disappointed if you order from them.

Thanks, I'm setting aside some money for it as we speak. Though I got some bills I'm having to pay off first.

Thanks for the responses.

This. Great vest and honestly conceals really well under a loose button up.

Also not very bulky if you stack a chest rig over it.

I had a BALCS cut concealable vest from Paraclete that I gave to my dad. It wasn't too bulky at all. Then again, I only ever wore it under my uniform, and ABU's are not exactly very form fitting
