UK mainland deliveries
If there is no answer when the courier attempts to deliver, they will usually leave a note or send a text and try to deliver a second time the next working day. If they are also unable to deliver the second time, you may collect your order from a local collection point provided by the courier. Goods will be held for one week to collect. After a week, the order will be returned to VestGuard and the original payment will be refunded minus any delivery costs incurred, and a restocking fee. Some of our couriers provide an online tracking service where our customers can also change the date of receipt and other elements of the delivery. VestGuard will provide a tracking number allowing you to access these facilities.
We are dependent on our carriers to deliver goods in a timely manner. The order is out of our control once it has been collected by the courier and we cannot guarantee any delivery times, however our team are always happy to assist in the event there is a question about delivery.
We cannot be held responsible for any items lost due to misinformation provided so please ensure the delivery details are accurate.
For locations with restricted access, please contact us on 01621816614 or send an email to sales@vestguard.com before you attempt to place your order. This type of order may command an additional carriage charge. We reserve the right to refuse to make a delivery if you have not informed us prior to delivery of any access restrictions.
You may require proof of identity when collecting any package.
You should register all damaged packages with the courier prior to acceptance of the goods. If the packaging is badly damaged take photos with the courier in the photo showing it has arrived damaged.

VestGuard body armour may not conform to standard clothing sizes and we recommend reviewing the below sizing guide before purchasing. We also strongly recommend completing the Size Submission Form at the bottom of this page or the forms on this page either before or after your purchase and our team will suggest the most suitable size for your needs.
Body Armour - Please consider the clothing that will be worn during typical duties under or over your body armour. Body armour is ergonomically designed to sit around your belly button +/- 1 inch. This is the ideal position to allow the wearer to sit or crouch whilst wearing body armour. Most of our body armour is adjustable around the waist and shoulders and will typically size up and down a size to meet your individual requirements.
Helmets - Take measurement from the forehead and extend the tape all the way around your head

Frequently Asked Sizing Questions
Q. How do I know what size I am?
A. You will need a tape measure and our sizing table. Measure around the largest circumference of your Chest and Waist/Stomach. Using these two measurements identify the sizes of both on the sizing table and then select the highest of the two. This will be the most suitable size to fit your body shape. We suggest completing the Size Submission Form to ensure the best size is recommended to match your measurements.
Q. What height does the vest fit?
A. People are all different shapes and sizes and body armour works differently between overt and covert styles. If you are between 5'8" and 6'1" our standard armour should be suitable to fit your body. If you have a shorter or longer upper body than usual please contact us to discuss which size is most suitable for you.
Q. Do you supply female sizes?
A. All of our NIJ level II(2), NIJ level IIIA(3A) and Home Office HO1 KR1 SP1 armour are made from very flexible and thin layers which contour and fit the body shape of both our male and female customers.
