The Armor Shield
Unlike traditional hard armor shields, the Armor Shield is a lightweight, flexible blanket with level-IIIA ballistic protection. It’s quick to deploy, easy to store and can be used in multiple ways, such as frontal body protection, a guard for sniper position, hung over a cruiser door and much more. The outer carrier is made of 1,000-D Cordura Nylon and features a self-supporting ballistic panel with a Velcro opening for insertion, a hook and loop for an ID patch and an attachment flap for vehicle or window protection. The Armor Shield comes in black, navy, olive drab and tan. ArmorShield USA, LLC

Canine Vest
The redesigned Bark-9 canine vest for law enforcement service dogs is fully adjustable and incorporates a rugged Cordura nylon exterior material for long-lasting wear. The carrier also features a breathable, diamond nylon rip-stop interior fabric with Spacer-Mesh padding for comfort. The carrier is further equipped with a reinforced restraint handle and two D-rings for adjustable leash attachment. There are two special-threat plate pockets for protection of the heart and lungs area. The Bark-9 is available in two options: the Type-II and Type-IIIA ballistic packages. The vest comes in multiple sizes, ranging from small to extra large, and in a variety of colors. Safariland

Rapid Assault Body Armor
The Rapid Assault Mission (RAM-1) tactical vest from Point Blank is ideally suited for response teams that require a highly adaptive and versatile body armor system.

Armor Built for Comfort
TurtleSkin’s SoftPlate IIIA body armor is a new concealable ballistic-resistant system. Constructed from materials found in hard plate armor, it offers coverage and protection with the benefit of soft armor comfort. The unique composition of the SoftPlate armor dissipates impact across the entire surface to reduce the effects of localized blunt trauma. It features a soft, neoprene yoke across the width of the shoulders/upper-back and a lumbar support strap that wraps around the lower back. This feature is designed to shift the weight off of your shoulders and relieve lower back stress. TurtleSkin
