TYR Tactical has just launched two Response Kits which are only available for purchase by law enforcement officers with valid ID.
These kits consist of plate carriers and in-conjunction hard armor plates for use over existing soft armor vests. In the case of Kit A, you’ll also get soft armor backers for the plates. Either carrier can be quickly donned when threat level increases to go beyond soft armor protection. Ample MOLLE/PALS webbing give you the ability to add additional, mission specific, pouches. The both also use TYR’s PV material which offers significant weight reduction with increased resistance to abrasion. PV has been tested to have 7-10 times higher abrasion resistance than standard mil-spec nylon. PV also enhances the ballistic attributes of armor within the vest. Antimicrobial/FR treated padded spacer mesh is used internally for comfort.

So if it only sold to LE, how come there is a retail and an LE price?
So that they know they’re getting a discount.
Looks a lot like the Grey Ghost Minimalist with an extra row of loop, shoulder pads, some fancier stitching on the rear inner panel, and a few closed corners on the plate pockets.
Or maybe, the Grey Ghost Gear carrier is a copy of this.
That’s entirely possible, I wasn’t really accusing one way or another just stating an observation.
Well to be honest there are really only so many ways to do something that works. The more you strip something down to basics, the fewer ways there really are to differentiate between designs. At its simplest it’s just 2 pockets sized & shaped to hold the plates with 2 shoulder straps to hold them up and some sort of waistband to hold them in place.
LE only? Armor isn’t illegal to own in most states, specifically AZ where Tyr is located so not sure why your restricting purchases from law abiding US Citizens. Shame
On another note, there are much cheaper alternatives for a US made carrier and same NIJ rating plates out there.
It’s probably because assholes are targeting police and TYR is offering a discounted price to those who are being murdered.
Assholes target civilians and people die every fucking day – this is just an exclusive way of continuing the bullshit that LEO lives are more valuable than any other Americans. I made comment of Tyr limiting sales to LEO/LEA when they announced sale of them – was told if I had a letter of consent from my CLEO, I could purchase. Because, America. Fuck Tyr for this one – and fuck my perjuring, lying, criminally charged CLEO. I know many, many cocksucker LEO just like I knew many cocksucking E1 to E4’s.
The pricing is LE only. However I can put you together some paper mache and tinfoil plates for 10% below their lowest quote Alex. I’ll even get out my sharpie and write in the NIJ ratings too!
LegionPrime, you’re an idiot, probably a Hillary voter and a peter puffer.
SSD, cops aren’t the only ones being murdered. Maybe you should post some other options that are actually affordable for regular patrol cops too.
Please, let us know who else is being targeted for assassination.
Like you said the armor isn’t illegal and their are cheaper alternatives, what’s the problem? You’ve got choices, apparently.
Well if you ever get done projecting let me know and I’ll get started on those plates for you.
Are you just complaining for the sake of complaining?
Its not always about price.
Isn’t M855 the US version of SS109?
M855 is a US .mil loading of NATO 5.56 ball. SS109 is the actual projectile, the bullet used in the cartridge.
