The SafeGuard Armor Ghost is a covert concealable body armor system built around a 100% CoolMAX carrier — one of the thinnest and most breathable concealable vest platforms available. Designed for prolonged daily wear, the Ghost delivers multi-threat protection in a profile so low-profile that even the wearer barely notices it. Available in male and female cuts, sized from Small through 4XL in Short, Regular, and Long torso lengths, the Ghost fits a wide range of body types without compromising coverage of the vital organs.

Who this is for

• Security and law enforcement professionals: who need reliable concealable protection for full-shift wear without the bulk of a tactical vest
• Plainclothes personnel and investigators: who require a covert profile that remains invisible beneath standard work attire
• Civilians seeking daily personal protection: who prioritize comfort and discretion over tactical appearance for extended everyday carry

Concealability and comfort

The Ghost carrier uses 100% CoolMAX fabric throughout, a moisture-wicking performance textile that draws heat away from the body and pushes it outward. A built-in heat escape system works alongside the CoolMAX layer to reduce heat buildup during prolonged wear. The result is a vest that stays cooler and drier than carriers built from standard nylon or polyester blends.

A four-point adjustable system — fully adjustable shoulder and waist straps — allows the vest to be dialed in precisely to the wearer's torso dimensions. The vest should sit just above the belly button and extend no lower than the navel, keeping the vital organs fully covered while preserving a full, unrestricted range of movement. If you fall between sizes, size up: the adjustable straps make a larger vest easier to fit correctly than a vest that runs too small.

Care and maintenance

To clean the outer carrier, remove all protective inserts and close any zips or Velcro adjustments before washing. Hand wash the carrier with a soft cloth or brush. To dry, hang or tumble dry on low heat. Do not tumble dry the protective inserts.

To clean soft protective panels, remove them from the carrier and gently wipe with a damp sponge using cool water and a mild detergent. Remove any excess soap with a clean damp sponge, then dry the panels with a cloth. Do not reinsert the panels into the carrier until they are fully dry.

Specifications

Fit and carrier compatibility

Measure your chest, waist, and torso length (from just below the sternum to the navel) before ordering. Use the size chart below as your guide. If your measurements fall at the top of a size band or between two sizes, select the larger size — the four-point strap system provides enough adjustment range to take in a vest that is slightly large, while a vest that runs too small cannot be made to fit safely.

Female sizing adds a bust measurement column and uses the same chest and waist bands listed above. Torso length fits all genders: Short for 5'9" and below, Regular for 5'10"–6'0", and Long for 6'1" and above.

Frequently asked questions

Will this vest stop rifle rounds?

No. The Ghost is a concealable soft armor vest rated for multi-threat handgun and edged-blade protection. It does not stop rifle-caliber rounds. If rifle-threat protection is required, a hard armor plate system is the appropriate solution.

How thick and heavy is the Ghost?

The Ghost uses one of the thinnest carrier profiles in the concealable vest category. Specific panel weight and thickness figures are available on the SafeGuard Armor spec sheet, which can be downloaded from the product page. If you need those figures before purchasing, contact us and we will provide them.

Can I wear this under a regular shirt or jacket?

Yes. The Ghost is engineered specifically for covert wear beneath everyday clothing. The CoolMAX carrier keeps the profile flat and the surface smooth, making the vest difficult to detect even under fitted garments. Multiple wearers report it is virtually invisible under standard work attire.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your chest, waist, and torso length from just below the sternum to the navel. Match those measurements to the size chart on this page. When in doubt, size up — the four-point adjustable strap system makes it straightforward to take in a larger vest, and a vest that is too small will not protect correctly.

Can I wash the carrier and panels?

Yes, with separate methods for each component. Hand wash the outer carrier with a soft cloth and hang or tumble dry on low heat. Clean protective panels by wiping gently with a cool water and mild detergent solution on a damp sponge, then dry thoroughly with a cloth. Never reinsert panels into the carrier until fully dry.

Can this vest be shipped to my state?

Cannot be shipped to New York or Connecticut due to state body armor restrictions. Subject to US export regulations. Under 18 U.S.C. § 931, anyone with a federal felony conviction for a crime of violence is prohibited from purchasing or possessing body armor.
