BODY ARMOR COMPRESSION SHIRTS

RTS Tactical’s body armor compression shirts are engineered for those who protect others without hesitation. If you’re in law enforcement, private security, executive protection, or civilian defense, these compression shirts can deliver NIJ-certified ballistic protection in a lightweight and ultra-concealable body armor package.

Built for tactical professionals and modern defenders who need to stay cool, mobile, and covert, these compression shirts redefine what bulletproof clothing can be. With integrated soft armor panels and a breathable compression fit, they offer the everyday protection you need without the bulk of traditional armor plate carriers or bulletproof vests.

Tactical by nature, our tan short-sleeve compression shirt in the regular length option is the go-to for outdoor operations or desert environments where concealment matters. Offers the same flexible ballistic protection with a neutral tone that disappears under most outerwear.

WHITE SLEEVELESS COMPRESSION SHIRT (LONG CUT)

Engineered for maximum mobility and breathability, our white sleeveless compression shirt in the long-length option delivers covert ballistic protection without compromising range of motion. Ideal for high-heat environments, off-duty concealment, or pairing under duty shirts without bulk.

WHITE SHORT-SLEEVE COMPRESSION SHIRT (LONG CUT)

Designed for low-profile protection in professional or plainclothes settings, our white short-sleeve compression shirt in the long-length option blends seamlessly under uniforms or button-downs. Built with moisture-wicking stretch fabric, it keeps you cool while offering all-day comfort

Gone are the days of bulky ballistic body armor that restricts movement and overheats in the field. RTS Tactical compression shirts are purpose-built to absorb impact while allowing freedom of movement. The ultra-thin design disappears under uniforms or streetwear, offering a discreet option for professionals and civilians alike.

Each shirt is constructed from high-performance SpeedCoreX fabric, featuring four-way stretch, moisture-wicking material that resists odor, and retains shape even during extended wear. Reinforced mesh pockets hold front, back, and optional side armor panels securely in place, ensuring maximum coverage and comfort throughout your mission.

These shirts are available with soft body armor panels rated at either:

• Level II (HG1): Designed to stop common handgun threats such as 9mm FMJ and .357 Magnum
• Level IIIA (HG2): Rated for higher-velocity rounds, including .44 Magnum and .357 SIG

All RTS Tactical ballistic panels are rigorously tested under the NIJ 0101.07 standard, ensuring compliance and performance in real-world ballistic threat environments. For maximum coverage and discreet wear, NIJ IIIA protection gives you a superior edge in high-threat environments without added bulk.

Every body armor shirt is crafted with tactical utility and everyday wearability in mind:

• Ultra-concealable armor compression fit eliminates printing and stays hidden beneath clothing
• Extended torso length (long cut) stays tucked beneath duty belts and tactical pants
• Sleeveless and short-sleeve options support layering, uniform integration, and seasonal flexibility
• Minimal weight compared to traditional ballistic vests or hard armor

Whether you’re suiting up for undercover operations, traveling light on executive detail, or seeking low-profile protection as a civilian, these lightweight bulletproof clothing options deliver. Departments can trial select gear through the Department Testing Program to validate performance before purchase.

RTS Tactical’s USA-made ballistic compression shirt line is built for:

• Law Enforcement: Concealed protection under uniforms or plainclothes
• Undercover Operations: Stay armored without blowing your cover
• Private Security: Lightweight, mission-ready body armor insert integration
• Executive Protection: Unseen defense in high-risk environments
• Civilian Preparedness: Everyday protection for those who won’t stand down

This is bulletproof T-shirt design taken to the next level, where tactical utility meets everyday comfort.

RTS Tactical compression shirts give protectors the power to move freely, act decisively, and stay protected in any environment. With breathable, body-hugging construction and verified ballistic performance, this isn’t just typical soft armor, it’s the future of discreet, bullet-resistant defense.
