Gator Hawk Armor

The Gator Flex SXT from Gator Hawk Armor was specifically designed to stop the Winchester 9mm 127-grain +P+ SXT round. This round is one of the most difficult to stop because unlike most rounds that mushroom out when they hit, the SXT actually turns in on itself. The Level II Gator Flex SXT vest has an average backface signature at certification of 28.5mm out of a maximum 44mm allowed and its 9mm V50s are over 1600 feet per second. In addition to its ballistics, the vest is also designed to be light, flexible, and comfortable.
