Abstract
A ballistic vest includes ballistic panels supported in a carrier, including a front panel and a back panel. The carrier includes an outer layer and an inner layer joined to each other at the top and bottom of the vest and open at the sides. The carrier layers define between them a panel space having an upper part located above the bottom of vest armholes and a lower part located below the bottom of vest armholes. A front panel upper section is secured in the upper part of the panel space. A front panel lower section is free to move laterally in the lower part of the panel space. A back panel upper section is secured in the upper part of the panel space. A back panel lower section is substantially free to move laterally in the lower panel space.
