HARD CORE FE SLICK

An effective ballistic protection vest solution that can be shared across all shifts.

Built upon input, it is the first carrier of its kind to safely address a one-size-fits-most application with consideration of comfort, movement, and ballistic protection. The Hard Core FE can be quickly equipped with rifle plates via its top loading external plate pockets. It is designed to protect personnel during an Active Shooter or Hostile Event Response. The Hard Core FE offers ballistic protection without sacrificing mobility and versatility. The carrier is adaptable to meet the needs of your team’s life-saving missions. It is also designed to fit BRAVO armor panels.

This is a reenactment of the incident in which Deputy Josh Caulkins was shot in the chest with a 16-gauge shotgun at an arms-length distance. He was wearing a carrier with a Halo IIIA soft armor. His body armor stopped the threat and saved his life. Based on actual events.
