Take a look at this armor and consider taking it with you on your next SWAT callout.

Blue Stone Safety Products' Tactical Entry Vest is available in olive drab and black. This vest has front and back MOLLE system. It also comes with a drag system load on the back of the vest. The Tactical Entry Vest houses a pocket for a shooter's cut level 4 shock plate in the front and back of vest. The straps on the shoulders of the vest can be conveniently adjusted to the size of the officer's torso.

The Raven vest from Armor Express was specifically designed with the fast-paced, low-profile operator in mind. The Trilogrid laser-cut MOLLE webbing, along with the aggressive structure of the vest, make it a high-speed, fully customizable tactical carrier solution. The Raven features a single-point quick-release system that is considered one of the most efficient in our industry. As easy to reassemble as it is to release, this system offers real-world applications, and encourages you to incorporate it into your daily tactical training regimen.

The ELSA is designed to use DKX MAX3 Level III armor.
