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.

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.
