The Safariland Group At SHOT show 2017 | BodyArmorNews.com

Tim O'Brien from Safariland showcases the HARDWIRE® ballistic panel. Safariland® announced an agreement with Hardwire, LLC ("Hardwire"), an armor systems company, offering soft armor panels with an unprecedented combination of stopping power and weight – 15 percent lighter than any ballistic package available on the market today. Together, Safariland and Hardwire are introducing the first NIJ 0101.06 Level IIIA compliant product with an areal density of just 0.68 lbs. per sq. foot. “The key is in shock wave physics,” stated George Tunis of Hardwire. “A typical .44 magnum round would have the energy of a 330 mph major league fastball, but it also has the sharp tip of an arrow. The key is to spread that energy out, so you walk away with a bruise, not a hole. Spreading that energy is how body armor works, and material wave speed is the key. The faster that energy can travel in the soft body armor material, the faster the shock can be spread over a large area, and the faster the bullet can be flattened and stopped.” This solution is a revolutionary new body armor system that outperforms the hardest steels, yet is light enough to float. This new type of armor is a combination of perfectly interlaced multi-functional fibers and the finest polymer chemistry available. Made of Dyneema® fibers, it is pure carbon and hydrogen, with not a single atom of wasted weight. “The impressive scientific engineering in Safariland’s new Hardwire ballistic package is unlike anything ever produced before in soft armor,” said Todd Mackler, Vice President, Armor. “The disruptive technology of these panels offers record stopping power with the undisputed lightest weight body armor on the market. We are extremely proud to be bringing this breakthrough technology to the men and women who protect us.” ‪@TheSafarilandGroup‬
