Why choose Dyneema®?

For military and law enforcement officers in high-risk environments, hard armor with Dyneema® is raising the protection benchmark. It provides maximum protection in a lighter solution that enhances comfort, maneuverability, and efficiency.

With Dyneema® you can reduce the weight of individual inserts at the same protection level, or provide extra personal protection options, like side panels, without increasing the overall weight of the armor system. 

Armor made with Dyneema® technology is also the best choice for protecting vehicles. Dyneema® Force Multiplier Technology, for example, can reduce armor weight by up to 20%, yet sacrifices nothing in ballistic performance. The result is a radical improvement in protection, weight, space, flexibility, and economics compared with traditional materials like HMPE, ceramics, fiberglass, aramid, and titanium.
