Tactical Vests
Tactical vests are essential protective gear for professionals who operate in high-pressure, fast-moving environments. At Fieldtex, we manufacture tactical vests that balance comfort, utility, and lightweight protection. Unlike full military armor systems, our vests are designed for stab resistance and compatibility with lower-level soft body armor ideal for law enforcement, EMS, and private security applications.
Every vest is manufactured with durable, abrasion-resistant materials and built for extended wear. Adjustable straps, padded shoulders, and breathable linings support long shifts, while MOLLE vests offer full modularity for mission-specific loadouts. Whether outfitting a patrol unit or securing a public event, our tactical vests provide dependable protection and smart organization without the bulk.
Who We Make Tactical Vests For:
Police & Tactical Response Teams
We work closely with law enforcement agencies to develop tactical vests that meet field requirements€”whether it's routine patrols or crowd control. Officers need gear that€™s lightweight, adaptable, and compatible with soft body armor inserts. Our designs ensure mobility and comfort for long hours in the field.
Private Security
Security personnel require tactical gear that looks professional, feels comfortable, and performs under pressure. Our stab-resistant vests support fast access to radios, restraints, and documentation€”making them ideal for nightlife, events, and high-traffic commercial areas.
EMTs & First Responders
First responders count on equipment that organizes supplies while allowing full movement. Our vests offer customizable compartments forbandages, gloves, and communication gear€”ensuring rapid response in unpredictable scenarios.
Example Project
Fieldtex partnered with a metropolitan police department to manufacture a custom line of tactical vests for daily patrol use. The department needed stab-resistant protection and soft armor compatibility without the added weight of higher-level body armor. We created a breathable, MOLLE-compatible vest with internal pouches for Level II inserts, integrated ID panels, and quick-release features. The vests now serve as a standard issue for patrol officers citywide, improving both safety and field performance.
Benefits of Tactical Vest
Modular Customization: Vest can features MOLLE webbing for full customization€”pouches, radio holsters, med kits, and accessories can be arranged to meet the mission.
Stab resistant & Soft Armor Ready: Designed to house lightweight soft body armor inserts (not included), our vests offer protection suitable for law enforcement, EMS, and civilian training roles.
Breathable & Lightweight: Extended wear is made easier with moisture-wicking mesh backers, ventilation panels, and ergonomic weight distribution that reduces fatigue.
Reinforced for Field Use: Heavy-duty stitching, bar-tacked stress points, and thick fabrics ensure long-lasting performance, even in rugged, unpredictable conditions.
Professional Fit & Finish: Offered in standard duty colors and with options for department branding or ID tags, our tactical vests maintain a clean, uniform appearance on duty.
