SOFT ARMOR (.57LBS / FT2)

Find the nearest dealer

Hardwire entered the soft ballistic market with Safariland in 2016 with the lightest and thinnest armor ever made. Since then, thousands of officers took the leap into the future and fell in love with the lightness, comfort, and quality of the product. Hardwire went on to become the premier supplier of soft armor to the U.S. military.

But great was not great enough. Could armor actually get thinner and lighter? The answer is in our attitude, science, equipment, and customer feedback… yes! The Hardwire Level 3A .57 PSF system is almost 20% lighter and 10% thinner, maintaining its reign as the lightest in the world. Hardwire’s signature stitch-less construction, superior shock physics, and high-pressure construction are now incorporated with a new, stronger fiber. See the future, be the future, wear the future.

Hardwire's soft armor is PFAS-Free.
