American Body Armor® Xtreme® Series

Lightweight Concealable Body Armor

More Xtreme® than ever. Safariland’s American Body Armor brand offers a wide range of lightweight, performance armor models. The Xtreme Series provides ballistic protection against the most common duty rounds as tested against the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Standard-0101.06. This robust standard, combined with state-of-the-art materials such as Honeywell’s Spectra Shield® II, and patented technologies like Geometrics™ and Resistance Framing™, makes for the industry’s most dependable, high performance body armor. Rated at three protection levels – types IIA, II and IIIA, each increasingly provides a lighter, more flexible vest with equal or greater performance than competing armor models.

Key Features:
  • Performance and flexibility offered throughout the spectrum of ballistic armor vests
  • Optimum comfort and fit due to balanced flexibility and high performance armor designs.
  • Multi-hit capabilities with new advanced stitching and Geometrics technology
  • Enhanced ballistic protection under the new NIJ Standard-0101.06 and patented ballistic designs
