Caliber Armor Product Guide

 Experience top-tier protection with our CaliberX™ Soft Ballistic Body Armor line, skillfully manufactured at their facility in Louisville, Kentucky. Our commitment to excellence drives us to continuously innovate and refine our armor products. Through extensive testing, they have discovered a superior armor layup by combining UHMWPE and Para-Aramid materials. By leveraging the full potential of this hybrid, we have achieved remarkable results—enhanced wearer comfort, reduced weight, and improved performance.

CaliberX™ Soft Armor sets itself apart from other soft armor systems in several key ways. It boasts a 10% weight reduction and a 15% decrease in back face deformation compared to commercially available alternatives. This translates into significantly less blunt force trauma for vest wearers. While a 10% weight reduction may seem modest, we understand the value of every ounce when you're laden with additional gear.

Despite using less material, CaliberX™ offers exceptional protection against high-performance handguns such as the .44 Magnum, .357 Sig, and 9 mm. The advanced fibers of our Soft Armor efficiently absorb and disperse the bullet's energy through a multi-layer web of fabric. By minimizing transferred energy and back-face deformation, we mitigate the risk of blunt trauma. The final inner layers of material effectively disperse the remaining energy, providing optimal protection and minimizing trauma.

CaliberX™ Soft Armor is built for reliability. It maintains consistent and uniform ballistic performance, withstanding multiple hits from powerful handguns like the .44 Magnum. With its unparalleled ballistic protection, lightweight comfort, and remarkable strength, CaliberX™ inserts offer peace of mind and an extra layer of security.

Not limited to personal body armor, our lightweight CaliberX™ Soft Armor is also suitable for use in backpacks, briefcases, and larger purses. Contact us for custom sizing options tailored to your specific needs.

Rest assured, our CaliberX™ Soft Armor has undergone thorough testing and meets or exceeds the stringent ballistic resistance standards outlined in NIJ STANDARD-0101.06 IIIA and 0101.07 HG2.

We maintain strict manufacturing tolerances to ensure quality. Thickness dimensions have a range of +-1/8 inch, while width and length dimensions have a tolerance of +0.00 to 0.25 inch. All weights are within +-5% of the stated values.
