Designed For
Hardwire® Armor Level IIIA Ballistic Panel
The newest proprietary manufacturing technology from Hardwire® equates to the lightest armor in the world, with unprecedented stopping power. This sets a new standard in shock dissipation physics, momentum transfer efficiency, and ultimately,
ballistic properties.
Made of Dyneema® fibers and pressed under 25 million pounds of force at precise temperatures, Hardwire turns multiple layers of material into a single system. The results are millions of fibers that once acted independently, now act as one.
Features
- Lightweight, 30% lighter than any other soft armor on the market
- Panels have a low density allowing them to float in water
- Impact energy is spread laterally across the panel improving ballistic protection and reducing trauma
- Made of Dyneema® fibers
- NIJ 0101.06 Level IIIA compliant
