The CaliberX Soft Body Armor + Covert Hybrid Concealable Vest Package combines the Caliber Armor Covert Hybrid Concealable Vest with CaliberX Level IIIA/HG2 Wraparound Soft Armor Panels for a lightweight, low-profile armor system designed for comfort, mobility, and discreet wear.

The flexible wraparound panels provide front, back, and side ballistic coverage while conforming naturally to the body. Paired with the Covert Hybrid's breathable jersey mesh lining, smooth outer material, and adjustable fit, this package is designed for law enforcement professionals, security personnel, plainclothes operations, and individuals seeking discreet personal protection.

What sets the Covert Hybrid apart is its ability to accommodate additional hard armor. Front and rear pockets accept compatible 8" × 10" plates, while an additional internal front pocket accommodates a 5" × 8" ICW or Special Threat plate. Users can configure their setup for additional protection based on their operational requirements.
