The owner of Warrior Trail literally accosted me in the aisle at Modern Day Marine and I’m glad he did because he has built a company around providing quality training armor. And Warrior Trail doesn’t just stop at hard plates, they’ve also developed soft armor inserts that replicate weight, bulk and pliability of the real thing.
At 1/10th the cost of real armor, you can outfit an entire team with training plates and soft armor inserts for use during hand to hand, obstacle course and other situational training scenarios that might damage ceramic plates. Additionally, you can get the soft inserts wet without worrying about the integrity of your armor and they can be washed if needed.
Not stopping there, they also showed me a BALCS armor carrier. Some organizations will want to use the training armor in their issue carrier but others such as training schools, may want to configure a training vest. It accepts BALCS cut armor, features MOLLE webbing so that you can set it up just like your working vest and can be worn with a cummerbund that accepts side plates or a strap. Offered in Tan, Black and MultiCam.
