Why Most Protection Fails Women and What to Look for Instead

Is There Bulletproof Clothing for Women?

Yes, but not all brands prioritize fit and comfort for women. Many bulletproof clothing options are designed with a one-size-fits-all approach, resulting in boxy, uncomfortable fits. At Civilian, we are changing that. We (women) are definitely not shaped like Legos! We design bulletproof clothing that takes women’s unique body shapes into account, offering form-fitting protection that blends seamlessly into everyday fashion. Our designs eliminate the awkward, bulky feel of traditional body armor while ensuring maximum protection. Why not have the same protection as a police officer - but none of the bulk / tactical look? Then this begs the next question...

Stay safe wherever you go.

How Comfortable Is Bulletproof Clothing to Wear?

Traditional bulletproof clothing has a reputation for being stiff, restrictive, and impractical for daily wear. Civilian takes a different approach by using advanced ballistic materials that allow for flexibility and movement. Our clothes are lightweight, breathable, and designed to customize to your body. This means you can go about your day without feeling weighed down or restricted, making protection something you actually want to wear, with none of the anxiety or fear of walking home alone late at night.

What Materials Are Used in Bulletproof Clothing?

Bulletproof clothing relies on high-performance materials that can absorb and disperse the energy from bullets. Civilian uses UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), a lightweight yet incredibly strong fiber, to create discreet, flexible protection. Unlike heavy steel or ceramic plates, UHMWPE offers top-tier ballistic resistance without adding unnecessary weight. Technology has improved significantly since Kevlar—now, design just needs to catch up. That's what we do.

How Much Does Bulletproof Clothing Cost?

Quality bulletproof clothing is an investment in personal safety. This isn’t dollar-store quality or fast fashion. Cheaper alternatives often sacrifice comfort and effectiveness, while high-end options provide lightweight protection without compromising style.

Discreet protection is the best protection
