Protection That Adapts to the Threat
The Comp-28 is a streamlined tactical modular vest — NIJ.06 Level IIIA soft armor front and back with the capability to insert hard rifle plates, all in a low-profile cut built for agility. Designed for law enforcement, security, emergency response, and close-protection professionals, it adapts protection to the threat: run it light as a soft-armor vest, or up-armor with 10×12" and side plates to Level IV when the mission demands it.
SCALABLE PROTECTION
Soft Armor to Level IV — With Side Protection
Wear the Comp-28 as a streamlined Level IIIA soft-armor vest for everyday duty, then drop 10×12" hard plates into the front and back pockets — plus optional 6×6" or 6×8" side plates — to reach Level IV rifle protection for higher-risk assignments.

HIGHLIGTHED FEATURES
[01]
Multi-Threat Ballistic Defense
Independently lab-tested to NIJ.06 Level IIIA — stops 9mm, .40 S&W, .357 Magnum, .357 Sig, .45 GAP, .44 Magnum, and 7.62×25 Tokarev. Reliable, all-day handgun protection from soft armor made in the USA. Choose from three armor panels: PE-X or Flexcore for Level IIIA ballistic protection, or Anti-Stab for Level IIIA ballistic protection plus multi-threat stab and edged-blade resistance.
[02]
Up-Armor to Level IV
Beyond the included Level IIIA soft armor, the Comp-28 accepts 10×12" hard plates in the front and rear pull-tab pouches and 6×6" or 6×8" side plates in the cummerbund insert pockets — upgrading to Level IV protection against high-velocity rifle and .30-06 AP rounds for active-shooter scenarios.
[03]
Streamlined for Speed and Agility
The front and rear plate pouches use a pull-tab no-flap slash opening with hook-and-loop closure for fast plate changes, while extended sides deliver crucial ballistic overlap. MOLLE webbing at every hardpoint and large Velcro ID areas let you build the vest out for any role without adding bulk.
[04]
Fast Plate Changes, Dialed-In Fit
Ace Link Armor engineered the Comp-28 to preserve a streamlined physical profile, keeping movement fluid and unhindered during tactical engagements where agility and speed make the difference. Extended sides add crucial ballistic overlap, the longer cut protects the lower abdomen that shorter vests leave exposed without choking when seated, and industrial-grade hook-and-loop fasteners dial in torso and girth fit for every body type.

Fast Plate Changes, Dialed-In Fit
Ace Link Armor engineered the Comp-28 to preserve a streamlined physical profile, keeping movement fluid and unhindered during tactical engagements where agility and speed make the difference. Extended sides add crucial ballistic overlap, the longer cut protects the lower abdomen that shorter vests leave exposed without choking when seated, and industrial-grade hook-and-loop fasteners dial in torso and girth fit for every body type.
HIGHLIGTHED FEATURES
[01]
Multi-Threat Ballistic Defense
Independently lab-tested to NIJ.06 Level IIIA — stops 9mm, .40 S&W, .357 Magnum, .357 Sig, .45 GAP, .44 Magnum, and 7.62×25 Tokarev. Reliable, all-day handgun protection from soft armor made in the USA. Choose from three armor panels: PE-X or Flexcore for Level IIIA ballistic protection, or Anti-Stab for Level IIIA ballistic protection plus multi-threat stab and edged-blade resistance.
[02]
Up-Armor to Level IV
Beyond the included Level IIIA soft armor, the Comp-28 accepts 10×12" hard plates in the front and rear pull-tab pouches and 6×6" or 6×8" side plates in the cummerbund insert pockets — upgrading to Level IV protection against high-velocity rifle and .30-06 AP rounds for active-shooter scenarios.
[03]
Streamlined for Speed and Agility
The front and rear plate pouches use a pull-tab no-flap slash opening with hook-and-loop closure for fast plate changes, while extended sides deliver crucial ballistic overlap. MOLLE webbing at every hardpoint and large Velcro ID areas let you build the vest out for any role without adding bulk.

Comp-28 Bulletproof Vest — Level 3A Load-Bearing Tactical Body Armor
Great deal for the bogo plate sale. Fast shipping. The carrier is good quality. Hopefully, I never have to see how well the plates do their job firsthand.
