10/4/21:
Body armor was sometimes hinted at in the show (and actually seen in some of the TOS movies), but I don't think we've actually seen it in use. One of the early ideas for phasers is that they would also extend a personal shield to the user. This obviously was never done, but I could see body armor providing that to a limited degree.

Tajaran Engineer: This is a waste of time.
    An "imbalance" in the ship, Glugtor says? The only imbalance is in his brain.
Tajaran Technician: Hoo hoo hoo.
Both Tajarans: ...
Engineer: Um... Was this hole always here?
    And should not we be sucked into the void?

Panel 2:
Tech: My instruments show no reading at all, other than slight power fluctuations. This is puzzling.
Engineer: What if we shoot into it?
Tech: Why?
Engineer: To see if it's real.
Tech: But won't that--
Engineer: Nah. A low setting will be absorbed by the wall.
Tech: Perhaps we should ask Glugtor if--
Lieutenant McDougal: Okay, this is a problem! Shouldn't they be seeing a bulkhead?!
Ensign Yuna: The cloak doesn't work like that! It's meant to be used in space!

McDougal: All right, then we need to--

Hank: Do whatever you have to, Lieutenant!

Hank: We need to get out of this hallway!

Panel 8:
Ezzok: I've got one grenade round this thing!
