Soft Armor Packages are ballistic protection options designed for use across most Angel Armor RISE carriers. Each package gives departments a way to evaluate protection level, weight, thickness, comfort, and performance profile based on the needs of their first responders in the field.

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.
For full storage information and other important use and care instructions, review this Use and Care Guide.
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.
At this time, our Body Armor is available to verified First Responders, Military and Federal Officers.
