TECHNOLOGY
We are able to produce durable, lightweight and flexible bullet proof vests because we use the supremely strong materials Dyneema® and Spectra®. Currently, we have two high quality ballistic packages: ENGARDEIIIA-PRO and the new ENGARDEII-ULTRALIGHT.
ENGARDEIIIA-PRO
Superb stopping power and first rate comfort
Our ENGARDEIIIA-PRO is made of full-wrap 100% Dyneema® producing outstanding stopping characteristics, superior protection against blunt trauma and excellent comfort. Due to its anti-trauma stitching the ENGARDEIIIA-PRO greatly reduces blunt trauma effects. It surpasses NIJ Level IIIA standards
