Yes. That’s exactly what Civilian is made for. Our bulletproof hoodies and t-shirts are designed to blend into everyday life—while offering certified protection against real-world threats.
If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to wear body armor without anyone noticing, the answer is simple: with Civilian, you can.

Protection That Doesn’t Call Attention to Itself
Civilian’s products don’t look tactical—and that’s the point. Whether you’re in a classroom, office, or just running errands, our hoodies and shirts are made to look like everyday clothing. The integrated armor is thin, flexible, and designed to stay close to the body, making it easy to wear under a jacket or on its own.
You stay protected—without standing out.
Here’s What Makes It Work
Each garment includes ballistic panels, giving you protection against common handgun rounds like 9mm and .44 Magnum. These panels are sewn directly into the product, so there’s no need to attach or adjust anything.
Lightweight and Comfortable
Our pieces weigh about 3 - 7 lbs. Civilian’s armor uses UHMWPE, a high-strength material that keeps things light and flexible—so you can move freely and stay comfortable all day.
Designed for Real Life
Civilian gear is made to be worn—not stored. Whether you're teaching, commuting, or just living your life, the fit and feel makes daily use practical.
Do People Notice?
Not unless you tell them. Civilian was built on the idea that protection doesn’t have to come with a tactical look. What you wear looks and feels like a normal hoodie or t-shirt—but with real, certified ballistic protection built in.
That’s what makes it powerful.
Final Word
Can you wear body armor under your clothing discreetly? Yes. With Civilian, that’s exactly what you’re doing.
