CaliberX Soft Body Armor Panels
The CaliberX Soft Ballistic Body Armor line is proudly manufactured in our Louisville, Kentucky facility. Designed to meet the gold standard of 1.1 lb per sq ft areal density, it delivers exceptional protection without unnecessary bulk.
We engineered a hybrid layup of UHMWPE and Para-Aramid materials, creating panels that are 10% lighter and offer 15% less backface deformation than other soft armor systems — reducing blunt force trauma and increasing comfort. Our CaliberX Soft Armor system is crafted for resilience, withstanding multiple hits from powerful handguns. Each fiber absorbs and disperses energy to minimize trauma. This makes our armor comfortable, lightweight, and protective, enabling you to react quickly when it matters most.
Ballistic Resistance & Protection
Independently tested in accredited labs under NIJ-STD-0101.06 and 0101.07 HG2 guidelines, with additional special threat testing. Tested and verified to meet or exceed NIJ standards, the CaliberX Soft Armor Wraparound Panels protect against multiple handgun threats.
