Everyday carry—EDC—is evolving, and with it the demand for discreet body armor. Traditional options like bulletproof vests, armored T-shirts, and plate carriers are often bulky, uncomfortable, and difficult to conceal.
Enter the Bodyguard CCW Armored Jacket from Bodyguard Concealed Armor Systems—designed as a practical, affordable way to integrate ballistic protection seamlessly into your daily routine and EDC loadout. With its patent-pending Hidden Draw System (HDS), it claims to offer a tactical advantage no other armored jacket can match.

HDS is designed to allow you to access your concealed firearm without tipping off a potential threat. At first glance, it appears as if you’re complying—placing your hand into a standard front pocket. But that pocket serves as an ingeniously designed false front, giving you instant, covert access to your weapon. With a breakaway feature built into the pocket, the jacket enables a natural, fluid draw, so there’s no need to modify your existing training.
Designed for full front and back centerline protection, the Bodyguard CCW Armored Jacket features discreet armor pockets that hold standard 10×12” Level 3A panels. The patent-pending Concealed Armor System (CAS) allows you to insert or remove armor as needed, keeping you protected without sacrificing mobility or comfort. Combining this with the Hidden Draw System results in a one-of-a-kind armored CCW jacket that offers both defensive and offensive readiness—all at an accessible price point.

Bodyguard Concealed Armor Systems points out that for body armor to be effective, you first have to want to wear it. If it’s too cumbersome or attracts unwanted attention, it will most likely stay in the closet. That’s why Bodyguard jackets are designed to fit effortlessly into your everyday life and offer you discreet protection that works under extreme stress. The Hidden Draw System is designed to be instinctive, allowing you to maintain your natural draw mechanics regardless of carry position or dominant hand.
The Bodyguard CCW Armored Jacket is available with or without armor, giving you the flexibility to use your own panels. When heading into high-risk areas, simply throw it on just like you would any other jacket. You can just as easily remove it when you reach safety. And unlike traditional armor solutions, Bodyguard jackets are TSA-compliant, allowing you to travel freely through airport security.

If you carry a firearm, adding armor to your EDC is the logical next step. With three styles available—Grayman Armored Vest, Peacemaker Armored Jacket, Operator Armored Jacket (and more on the way)—Bodyguard aims to offer you a tactical edge in an unpredictable world.
