SIZING GUIDE FAV™ FAMILY 800-347-1200 www.safariland.com 1 FAV™ FAMILY General Facts • The FAV ballistic panels graduate up/down 4-inches in circumference for each larger/smaller size • The FAV is designed to have a minimum 2-inch to 4-inch gap between the front and back panel on the wearer’s sides due to the 6” x 10” ballistic side panels that come standard with the vest • It is recommended that there be a minimum 2-inch overlap of the 6” x 10” ballistic panel over the back panel and a minimum 3-inch overlap of the front panel • Optional Spacer-Mesh inserts will add an additional 2-inches of girth on EACH side which is equivalent to one full vest size • The sizing chart on page 3 is a general estimate of girth and chest ranges. If an individual has a measurement outside of the size range in the chart, lean towards a larger size in most instances • The true measurement chart on page 4 is the true measurement of the ballistic panels and is a good reference for addressing proper lengths • Only the front length measurement is needed for sizing PROTECH vests, it is not necessary to measure the back length. • When sizing the FAV QR – please use this section as your guideline STEP 1A - Loosen Shoulder Straps and Cummerbunds STEP 1B - Attach and Insert any Optional Accessories and/or Plates to the Vest: • Remove the shoulder D-rings and do not attach the shoulder portions of the Spacer-Mesh inserts (if applicable). This is important, as full shoulder adjustment will be compromised when these are attached STEP 2 - Shoulder Adjustment and Sizing Requirements: Shoulder adjustment is crucial to having proper vest height - Proper vest height not only ensures that the soft ballistic panels cover the torso area of the body but also ensures that rifle plates sit at the proper height within the front and back plate pockets. • Have the officer don the vest • Adjust the shoulder straps until the neck scoop on the front of the vest lines up with the officer’s clavicle notch and the neck scoop of the back of the vest lines up with the imaginary horizontal plane of the top of the shoulders • Reattach shoulder portions of the Spacer-Mesh inserts (if applicable) STEP 3 – Internal Cummerbund Adjustment and Fit Requirements: • With the internal cummerbund detached from the vest, attach the hook and loop portions of the two separate pieces together and have the officer hold the attached pieces on the stomach over the navel • Eye up the officer’s lower torso and estimate where the internal cummerbund will attach to the back of the vest – then attach the cummerbund, via modular webbing, to the outer wings of the back of the vest • Adjust internal cummerbund until officer feels most comfortable STEP 4 – Outer Cummerbund Side Adjustment and Fit Requirements: • The FAV MKII Enhanced features an outer cummerbund with 6” x 10” side ballistic panels and is designed to have a gap between the front and back panels that will be protected by the overlapping 6” x 10” side ballistic panels. Ideally, this gap should be between 2-inches and 4-inches wide and is intended to accommodate growth, and/or expansion from winter clothes and provide adjustability to allow the same size vest to be used for a range of girth circumferences. • If there is more than a 4-inch gap you might consider trying a larger size. Likewise, if there is less than a 2-inch gap it might be a good idea to try a smaller size • Start with the outer cummerbund detached from the vest, take both sides and attach the hook portion to the front of the vest’s loop platform. Attach so that the hook and loop is not completely covered (this will allow the officer to pull the outer closure snug when ready) • Next eye up the modular webbing row where the back portions of the outer cummerbunds will connect to the back of the vest • Eye up the spacing of between the front and back carrier’s outer wings • If Panels Gap: • Butting up – under 2”gap = go down one size • 2” – 4” gap = perfect fit, proceed to address length • 4.5” – 6.5” gap = up one size • 7” & above gap = up two plus sizes www.safariland.com • If Panels Overlap • 1” – 2” overlap = go down two sizes • 2.5” – 4” overlap = down three sizes SIZING GUIDE FAV™ FAMILY 800-347-1200 www.safariland.com • It is recommended that there be a minimum 2-inch overlap of the 6” x 10” ballistic panel over the back panel and a minimum 3-inch overlap of the front panel. Fasten the back of the outer cummerbund to the modular webbing on the back of the vest. Assess until you have sufficient gap between the front and back panels and there is enough overlap with the 6” x 10” side ballistic panels • Have the officer pull the outer cummerbund’s front hook and loop attachment snug and confirm comfort and proper overlap STEP 5 – Addressing Length: • Ask the officer if the length is where they would like it • Have the officer stand and/or kneel to assess/confirm desired length • Assess length as needed utilizing the True Measurement chart on page 4 • Only the front length measurement is needed for sizing PROTECH vests, it is not necessary to measure the back length. www.safariland.com 2 SIZING GUIDE FAV™ FAMILY 800-347-1200 www.safariland.com 3 FAV™ FAMILY – CARRIER SIZING CHART with 6” x 10” side panels (w/o optional accessories) Vest Size Girth Range Chest Range Length Vest Size Code Vest Size Girth Range Chest Range Length Vest Size Code X-Small 26” – 30” 31” – 34” Regular: 13” XSRRR 2X-Large 51” – 55” 51” – 54” Regular: 15” 2XRRR Long: 14” XSRLL Long: 16” 2XRLL X-Long: 15” XSRXX X-Long: 17” 2XRXX 2X-Long: 16” XSRZZ 2X-Long: 18” 2XRZZ 3X-Long: 17” XSRYY 3X-Long: 19” 2XRYY Short: 12” SMRSS Regular: 16” 3XRRR Regular: 13” SMRRR Long: 17” 3XRLL Long: 14” SMRLL X-Long: 18” 3XRXX X-Long: 15” SMRXX 2X-Long: 19” 3XRZZ 2X-Long: 16” SMRZZ 3X-Long: 20” 3XRYY 3X-Long: 17” SMRYY Short: 12” MMRSS Regular: 17” 4XRRR Regular: 13” MMRRR Long: 18” 4XRLL Long: 14” MMRLL X-Long: 19” 4XRXX X-Long: 15” MMRXX 2X-Long: 20” 4XRZZ 2X-Long: 16” MMRZZ 3X-Long: 21” 4XRYY 3X-Long: 17” MMRYY Regular: 13” LGRRR Regular: 18” 5XRRR Long: 14” LGRLL Long: 19” 5XRLL X-Long: 15” LGRXX X-Long: 20” 5XRXX 2X-Long: 16” LGRZZ 2X-Long: 21” 5XRZZ 3X-Long: 17” LGRYY 3X-Long: 22” 5XRYY Regular: 14” 1XRRR Regular: 19” 6XRRR Long: 15” 1XRLL Long: 20” 6XRLL X-Long: 16” 1XRXX X-Long: 21” 6XRXX 2X-Long: 17” 1XRZZ 2X-Long: 22” 6XRZZ 3X-Long: 18” 1XRYY 3X-Long: 23” 6XRYY Small Medium Large 1X-Large 31” – 35” 36” – 40” 41” – 45” 46” – 50” 35” – 38” 39” – 42” 43” – 46” 47” – 50” NOTE: 3X-Large 4X-Large 5X-Large 6X-Large 56” – 60” 61” – 65” 66” – 70” 71” – 75” 55” – 58” 59” – 62” 63” – 66” 67” – 70” This chart is meant to be used as a general guideline when sizing, some individuals may measure outside of the ranges listed above.
