The TL 9 concealable armor dose not even begin to approach that in effectiveness. The Reflex vest is 12/4* and the tactical vest, which is not concealable is 18/7* unless you include plates.

As others have said the advanced armor really does not exist as such.
But comparable armor value exists as "concealable armor" in that there are vest+trauma plate combinations and standalone trauma plates that are concealable under heavy clothing up to Class IV(about DR 48) in our very late TL 8 world.
Thus using the general TL progression for armor a late TL 9 one would have 1.5 times that DR value.
I do highly recommend the cutting edge armor design article in pyramid 3-85 if you want to build more current armor values and specially if you want to give more options.
