The Covert Flannel was designed from the very beginning to be a protective garment. The entire shirt is based on a chassis made with 165G DuPont Kevlar lining to protect from tear and abrasion. Then Scorpion sews a cotton flannel fabric onto the chassis, and add a comfortable mesh liner.
Additionally, the Covert has pockets for optional Sas-Tec CE-certified armor at the elbows, shoulders and back. So sure, it looks like your favorite flannel shirt, but inside it has a heart of Kevlar gold.
