Unrivalled undercover protection

Our hard-wearing soft armor panels are made from military-grade aramid fibers to protect you in threatening environments. These strong fibers offer a higher level of protection than ever before thanks to their tight weave, which not only absorbs the kinetic energy of projectiles but also stops them from being to pass through the fibers.

Products Reviews

Very stiff like a starched dried shirt

It’s very stiff and not as flexible as other brands my friends have offering the same level of protection. Free and fast movement is a bit restricted and you feel like a robot moving in the vest. Maybe I just need to wear it more often and get used to it to be fair. But having worn it just 4 times I really don’t like the feel and feel restricted motion. Maybe I hope there is a break in period and it starts to feel more flexible and my movements feel more natural and faster. I definitely feel a lot slower in it.

Hot heavy straps rub

Got a little heavy straps rub your neck but over all good

Good but careful with sizing

As 5 foot 6 160lb guy, I should have gone with a small. There's significant overlap on the sides. Still, it's pretty nice. Just pay attention to the sizing guide and size down if you're on the edge.
