We’re still amped over the excitement and positive feedback our RISE™ Concealable Armor System generated at SHOT Show® in Las Vegas last month.

Thanks to all the military and Law Enforcement Officers who stopped by our Angel Armor booth to learn about our new carrier system’s features, ballistic specs, special threat options, male and female custom sizing options, NIJ certification and more. We appreciate the enthusiasm and are honored for the opportunity to protect you — our nation’s heroes — as you bravely protect us.

“My department’s vests are nearing the end of their lifespan. I believe the RISE vest system will be a superb replacement. We get called in from off-duty on a frequent basis. This vest would take the place of other more cumbersome carriers that hinder movement while tracking subjects.” Tennessee LEO

Why Change the Status Quo for Carriers?

According to the National Institute of Justice, soft body armor has saved the lives of more than 3,000 Law Enforcement Officers. Yet the excessive bulk, weight, heat and rigidity of traditional armor makes officers think twice before they put it on. The consequences are devastating:

RISE was created to address statistics like these. We knew we had to build the smartest soft armor system that would deliver both protection AND comfort — with absolutely no compromise on either front.If you want to learn more about RISE, check it out here.

Customer Testimonials

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

I received the Truth Series trauma plate and put it to the test. The plate stopped all the rounds fired into it at 21 feet away. No rounds penetrated the reverse side shell. Based on the testing, this trauma plate held up to the factory specs and was impressive with the stopping force it demonstrated. I would definitely recommend this product for tactical use.

The RISE vest with Truth SNAP is the most comfortable vest I've ever worn. Knowing my vest will protect me against whatever I face gives me a mental edge on the street. I'm a proud member of the Angel Armor team.

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.
