Customer Testimonials

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

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.

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.
