Armor Express Revolution

Cool Carrier
The Revolution is Armor Express’ top-of-the-line concealable carrier system. The shoulder area boasts an improved epaulet system and the addition of 3mm-thick Breathe-O-Prene padding. The Revolution also offers the microfiber Wearstrip on the lower inside lining of the carrier and an inner suspension system. The Wearstrip prevents holes from forming along the bottom edge of the carrier due to abrasion, which commonly occurs when the carrier rubs against your duty belt. The inner suspension system holds the protective panels in place and prevents them from sagging. The Revolution is available in both male and structured female princess cut designs.

K9 Storm Intruder

Major Mutt Gear
dog is man’s best friend; a canine is a partner willing to go through a door before you or be the first on scene in a foot chase. A partner that enthusiastic and fearless deserves a vest that was designed for Maximum Barrier Protection and doesn’t tip the scales at under 20 ounces. K9 Storm’s Intruder features an integrated camera with built-in night vision, allowing the handler to search a tunnel, building or forest. It’s virtually as good as having “eyes” to map out potential danger in a rescue/recovery disaster operation. The Intruder has a Special Ops handle to lift and lower your K9, as well as load-bearing V-rings for fast roping.

PACA Perform

Raising The Bar
Certified to meet the new NIJ .06 standard and rigorously tested against “special threats,” the Perform-XP body armor is also available with a new Perform-XP Level IIIA ballistic system. The Perform-XP consistently stops most bullets within the second or third layer of a ballistic panel. The remaining layers absorb the energy of the bullet, and tests have shown that Kevlar XP decreases back face signature by 15% or more, thereby reducing trauma injuries. It’s also up to 10% lighter than other commercially available technologies designed to defeat the most challenging NIJ Level IIIA ballistic threat — the .44 Magnum. Perform-XP is also engineered to protect against other “special threats” ammunition, such as the 9mm SXT 127 grain and FN 5.7×28.

TurtleSkin SoftPlate

Increased Ballistic Resistance
TurtleSkin SoftPlate IIIA body armor is a revolutionary new concealable, ballistic-resistant technology. Constructed from materials typically found in hard plate armor, the new SoftPlate armor pack offers expanded coverage and higher protection levels, along with the benefit of soft armor comfort. TurtleSkin SoftPlate armor technology expands effective IIIA ballistic coverage area to within one inch from the edge of the pack — effectively increasing the certified area of coverage by up to 40%, depending on the size of the pack. In addition, SoftPlate delivers a significant increase in blunt trauma resistance, further protecting officers from the deadly threats associated with ballistic impact. The unique construction and composition of the SoftPlate armor dissipates impact energy across the entire surface area of the pack to reduce the dangerous effects of localized blunt trauma when a projectile is stopped.
