Customer Testimonials

"Angel Armor saved my life during a critical incident."

Not one brand can compete with the RISE system. Custom fit for all-day wear — I've worn it 50 hours a week and completely forgotten I had it on. Knowing I'm protected from rifle rounds is extremely comforting.

The NIJ IIIA ballistic door panel was installed in under three minutes. It was amazingly easy to install. The car door continued to function normally with no noticeable weight difference. The panel itself is light and well-constructed. It best equates to basically a big version of your hard trauma plate on your street vest. We placed the panel in our 2015 Police Tahoes that was driven by four separate officers. They all agreed that you do not notice that the panel is in the door. We also all agreed that having the IIIA door panel gave us a sense of confidence that it can provide cover during surprise attacks. I would say that I do not go on the street without my vest, and now I do not want to go without my ballistic door panel. We are now looking into getting the ballistic panel for the rest of the fleet.
