Armor that moves when you move.
Protection you don’t have to think about.
Most ballistic protection stops at your plate carrier. The Slate Solutions Ballistic Tactical Shirt extends that protection to your shoulders, upper chest, and upper back — the areas most exposed when you’re moving, breaching, or taking a firing position.
Built to be worn under hard armor plates and modular carriers, the Ballistic Tactical Shirt integrates NIJ Level II or IIIA soft armor performance with MIL-STD-662F / STANAG 2920 fragmentation resistance into a flame-resistant, moisture-wicking platform that disappears under your kit.
Available in universal and female-specific designs, in seven colors, and sized XS through 2XL — configured for the operator, not the mannequin.
When the threat doesn’t stop at the edge of your plate, your protection shouldn’t either.

Where on the body does the shirt provide protection?
The shirt provides integrated ballistic coverage to the upper torso — specifically the shoulders, upper chest, and upper back. These are the areas most exposed when wearing a standard plate carrier and most vulnerable during dynamic movement and weapon handling.
Is the shirt designed to be worn under a plate carrier?
Yes. The Ballistic Tactical Shirt is specifically engineered to be worn under hard armor plates and modular carriers. The athletic cut, breathable knit torso, and articulated sleeves are all designed to function seamlessly beneath existing armor systems without adding bulk or restricting movement.
Is the shirt flame resistant?
Yes. The shirt is constructed from flame-resistant, no-melt / no-drip materials that provide reliable thermal protection in environments where fire or flash hazards are a concern.
Is a female-specific version available?
Yes. The Ballistic Tactical Shirt is available in both universal and female-specific designs, each sized XS through 2XL.
What colors are available?
The shirt is available in Black, Coyote, Tactical Gray, Dark Navy, MultiCam, Ranger Green, and OD Green.

What options and accessories are available?

How does the shirt manage heat and moisture?
The shirt features a moisture-wicking, quick-dry torso and a breathable knit construction designed to reduce heat stress when worn under armor systems. High-abrasion stretch-woven sleeves provide durability without sacrificing range of motion.
Can the shirt be used with gloves?
Yes. The shirt features adjustable cuffs specifically designed for integration with tactical gloves.

Please contact our government sales team for current compliance documentation. EOD Gear is an ISO 9001:2015 certified, ITAR-registered SDVOSB and can provide the appropriate compliance information for your procurement requirements.
Can a sole-source justification be provided?
Yes. EOD Gear can provide supporting documentation for sole-source or limited-source justifications. Contact our government sales team for assistance.
What is the lead time for agency orders?
Lead times vary based on configuration, color, size mix, and quantity. Contact EOD Gear early in your procurement cycle to discuss scheduling and volume options.
How should the shirt be cared for and inspected?
Follow the manufacturer’s care label instructions. Ballistic panels should be inspected regularly for signs of wear, damage, or delamination. Do not use bleach, fabric softeners, or harsh chemicals on ballistic materials. After any ballistic event the shirt must be removed from service and returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.
What happens if the shirt sustains a ballistic hit?
The shirt must be taken out of service immediately after any ballistic impact, regardless of visible damage. Internal structural changes to ballistic panels may not be externally visible. EOD Gear and the manufacturer can assist with post-event evaluation and replacement.
