Our Process

What sets us apart?

We don't assemble armor components... we bond them with Made in USA proprietary adhesives that are tuned to ballistic energy. 

We bring decades of risk mitigation thinking - originally acquired in the aviation setting - to the body armor world.

We are transparent about what our products can and cannot accomplish, the performance of each, backed up by ballistic reports and testing on the armor's most vulnerable areas: the crown.

We are forthcoming about whether our designs fully incorporate NIJ 0101.07 drop testing protocols and standards.  The vast majority do (a few SRT and ICW exceptions).

Our performance truly tells the tale.  Before you buy, compare our test reports against the competition.  Some won't share these reports with you.  We have them on every product page, including a master testing page where you can track all relevant ballistic testing.

We build based on reliable test data, batch numbers, Standard Operating Procedures and industry best practices.  Almost all of our armor is built in-house, 99% of it is edge-to-edge coverage, all bonded with our proprietary ARMORFILM™ adhesives.
