WHAT is THE RISE® Body Armor system?
The RISE® Body Armor System is Angel Armor's patented vest platform designed to hold and position compatible ballistic armor panels and rifle plates as part of a complete body armor system.
Engineered to exceed NIJ standards, ensuring maximum protection for multiple lines of duty.
RISE® Armor Packages are tested to the NIJ 0101.06 standard with proper CPL certifications. Available in NIJ Level II and NIJ Level IIIA threat levels, RISE® Armor Packages come in multiple options varying in weight, thickness and price.
Since wearing the RISE armor and SNAP plates I feel more confident on the job. Knowing the armor can stop a .308 round is a game changer. I believe in this armor and would recommend it to anyone.

The term “bulletproof vest” is widely used, but it’s actually a bit misleading. No body armor on the market is truly bulletproof. Modern body armor is bullet-resistant — designed to stop or slow down specific types of bullets under certain conditions. Manufacturers test armor against known threats and follow strict performance standards (like those set by the NIJ), but there’s no vest that can guarantee protection from all types of weapons, bullets, or scenarios.
To get the most out of your vest, proper care and storage are critical.
Store your body armor flat, either on a shelf or other flat surface. When this is not practical, suspended on a clothes hanger is the next best method. Your body armor should never be folded, compressed or stood on its edge. This improper storage will create “excessive permanent creases” in your body armor and may cause curling at the edges. Storage at room temperatures in your locker or closet is recommended.
Your body armor should never be stored in the trunk of a vehicle where it may be exposed to temperatures in excess of 150 degrees F. High temperatures may affect the strength of some fibers which could diminish the performance of your body armor.Hand wash your carrier and Ballistic Panels with cold water and a mild detergent. Don’t ever fully submerge the Ballistic Panels in water. Always hang dry.

RISE Carriers come in custom sizes for male and female First Responders. Each end-user is measured in accordance to the Angel Armor Size and Fit Guide. We analyze your measurements and select the appropriate size of carrier accordingly. Ballistic Panels are then custom cut according to the measurements to fit the carrier. For more information on sizing, contact us at sales@angelarmor.com.
