Rated to stop handgun and specified special threats, the LX02 is designed for all-day wearability with a panel profile of 0.27 inches and an areal density of 1.16 psf. The package is available in Small through 2X-Large across Short, Regular, and Long torso lengths, all in black, for male wearers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Extended Wear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LiteX LX02's Twaron and Goldflex hybrid construction keeps the panel thin at 0.27 inches while maintaining a 1.16 psf areal density, a balance that reduces the bulk a wearer carries through a full shift. Thinner panels conform more naturally to the body, which matters when the vest is on for eight or more hours at a stretch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMoisture Management That Protects the Panel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGH Armor Systems' patented ProTect internal ballistic desiccant system is built into the vest to manage moisture inside the panel. Ballistic fibers can degrade when exposed to sustained humidity; the ProTect system works to extend the panel's service life by actively controlling that environment. The outer cover is 200-denier Ripstop Nylon with a polyurethane backing and ultra-sonic welded seams, adding a second layer of protection against moisture intrusion from outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTested Against Regional and Specialized Threats\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond its NIJ 0101.06 Level IIIA certification, the LX02 has been special-threat tested against 9mm 127gr SXT +P, 357 Sig 125gr GDHP, and 5.7x28mm FN SS197SR 40gr: rounds that appear frequently in regional threat assessments but fall outside the standard NIJ test matrix. The LX02 is also compliant with DEA Protocol (2009), covering 9mm 124gr FMJ, 9mm 127gr +P+ T-Series, .40 S\u0026amp;W 165gr GDHP, and 2gr, 4gr, 16gr, and 64gr RCC Fragment-Simulating Projectiles.

The range of sizes and torso lengths makes it a practical choice for departments or individuals who need a fitted, all-day vest rather than a one-size option.

Level IIIA is rated to stop handgun threats up to and including .44 Magnum and 9mm at specified velocities. It does not provide protection against rifle-caliber threats; buyers who need rifle protection should consider hard armor plates rated to Level III or Level IV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the ProTect desiccant system and why does it matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe ProTect system is GH Armor Systems' patented internal ballistic desiccant built into the LiteX LX02 vest. It actively manages moisture inside the ballistic panel. Sustained moisture exposure can degrade ballistic fibers over time, reducing the panel's protective performance. The ProTect system works to slow that degradation, which is relevant for officers who wear the vest daily in varying environmental conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat special threats has the LX02 been tested against beyond the NIJ matrix?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe LiteX LX02 has been special-threat tested against 9mm 127gr SXT +P, 357 Sig 125gr GDHP, and 5.7x28mm FN SS197SR 40gr. It also meets DEA Protocol (2009) requirements covering 9mm 124gr FMJ, 9mm 127gr +P+ T-Series, .40 S\u0026amp;W 165gr GDHP, and RCC Fragment-Simulating Projectiles at 2gr, 4gr, 16gr, and 64gr. These tests use the same facilities and conditions as NIJ testing but target rounds outside the standard NIJ threat matrix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow do I choose the right size and torso length?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe LiteX LX02 package is available in Small (Regular torso), Medium (Short), Large (Short), X-Large (Short), and 2X-Large (Long). Torso length affects how the panel sits relative to the waist and shoulders. If you are unsure which combination fits your measurements, contact us before ordering, as proper fit is essential for both comfort and ballistic coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eCan the LiteX LX02 ship to my state?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe GH Armor Systems LiteX LX02 cannot be shipped to New York or Connecticut due to state body armor restrictions, and is 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.
