Field-Tested and Recommended: RISE Tactical Carrier Earns 4.69 NTOA Score

When you design armor for those who serve on the front lines, trust is earned in the field, not the factory. That's why we submitted our RISE Tactical Carrier equipped with our Ultra Premium Level IIIA armor packages and Truth SNAP 308 Ultra + 855 Rifle Plates to the National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA) for independent evaluation.After rigorous testing by active-duty officers, we're proud to report that Angel Armor received an overall score of 4.69 out of 5, officially earning the NTOA Member Tested and Recommended designation.

What is the NTOA Member Tested and Recommended Program?

The National Tactical Officers Association is one of the most respected law enforcement organizations in the country. Their Member Tested and Recommended Program allows real officers—from SWAT, patrol, and tactical divisions—to evaluate gear in real-world operational conditions. Products are scored across multiple categories like design, performance, durability, comfort, and ease of use.

A minimum score of 3.0 earns the NTOA seal. We’re proud to have exceeded that benchmark with distinction.

What Makes the RISE Tactical Carrier Stand Out?

Comfort

The RISE Tactical Carrier delivers all-day wearability with mission-ready design.

  • Patented QuadCore® Belt System delivers industry-leading weight distribution and 360° of tension for stability
  • On-body adjustable shoulder straps attach directly to the internal armor for reduced shifting and curling
  • Proprietary antimicrobial mesh lining promotes airflow and wicks moisture
  • Custom sizing available for both male and female officers for a truly tailored fit

Modularity

Designed to scale with your mission and integrate with your tools:

Premium Quality

Engineered for tactical professionals who can't afford failure:

  • Built from 500D CORDURA® nylon for lightweight durability
  • Reinforced with YKK zippers throughout
  • Includes magnetic recovery handle and internal cable routing for comms and hydration
  • Loop fields on front and back for patches, unit ID, and gear identifiers

Designed for the Mission. Proven in the Field.

The RISE Tactical Carrier is more than just a carrier—it’s a high-performance platform designed to protect and empower tactical professionals. We’re proud to be NTOA Member Tested and Recommended, and even prouder to serve the men and women who depend on us in the field.

Customer Testimonials

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

The ghost vehicles have been a big hit with other agencies, media, the public and most important our Troopers. It is their safety that I am most concerned about. We have done stories in the media and Angel Armor ballistic panels have been the most plugged, discussed product. I hope one of our officers never have to testify to its safety, but as a supervisor it does give more peace of mind to their safety.

There is no comparison to the RISE vest. I get out of my vehicle on every call with lightweight rifle protection already on. I've approached calls with more confidence knowing I'm protected at a higher level.

Great company who are in it for the right reasons.

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.
