GASTONIA, N.C. – April 4, 2022 – Premier Body Armor’s partnership brings unprecedented thermal regulation technology to several armor products. Eclipsys is available in multiple configurations for a wide variety of uses. Eclipsys™ thermal-regulating properties is revolutionizing the body armor industry and Premier Body Armor offers several popular setups.
The full lineup debuted earlier this year at SHOT, and multiple product lines sold out fast. Integration options for Premier Body Armor’s STRATIS rifle rated plates, Every Day Armor T-Shirt, soft armor vests and more are in stock or currently being re-stocked for quick delivery.
The full lineup debuted earlier this year at SHOT, and multiple product lines are currently sold out. The fact that it can be incorporated into any system, is affordable and the performance is unparalleled (reducing heat up to 200%) means options for plates and everyday shirt armor are awaiting re-stocking.
“We haven’t even seen warmer temperatures yet, and people are already seeing how game-changing this really is—especially those who wear armor every day,” said Alex Stewart, President of Premier Body Armor. “Body Armor is very insulative, and until now, there were no thermal regulating options. Eclipsys changes this in a big way and we’re excited about what we’re seeing.
“We are pleased to be making a difference in the lives of our customers. One recent Law enforcement officer left the following review: ‘I used to take my vest off at the end of the day and my shirt was drenched. Now with this attached to my vest, my undershirt is dry.’ We continue to get regular and positive feedback from other happy customers as well.”
Eclipsys utilizes passive cooling which means there are no batteries or wires to break, replace or worry about when it matters most. It is non-flammable, non-toxic and razor thin at 0.42 mm thick (three sheets of paper). All of these features and qualities put Eclipsys in a league of its own. Premier Body Armor is proud to offer it with some of the company’s most popular and heralded products including the Elite Executive Vest and the Discreet Executive Vest.

After years of R&D in ceramic armor materials and systems, Adept Armor proudly announces an armor plate strong enough to counter today’s AP threats, as well as the AP threats of tomorrow, with the new Colossus™ Armor Plate.
Tulsa, Okla. (March 2022) – Adept Armor, an armor system engineering firm, announces the latest evolution in ceramic armor with the Colossus™ Armor Plate offering protective capabilities beyond Level IV or RF3 plates. The Colossus was designed from the ground up using the most advanced materials available to produce the strongest plate in its category, yet weighing significantly less than the average Level IV or RF3 plate at just over six pounds.
The Colossus was built and tested to VPAM 12 with a ballistic rating for 7.62x51mm Swiss P AP (tungsten core) at 810 m/s. VPAM is the European standard for testing and measurement of ballistic materials and products. Additionally, the Colossus is also rated for:
• VPAM 11 – 7.62x51mm M993 (tungsten core) at 940 m/s
• Level IV (RF3) – .30-06 AP M2 at 880 m/s
• Special threats
• 7..62x54mmR Bf32 API at 860 m/s
• 5.56x45mm M995 at 1000 m/s
• 5.45x39mm AP at 880 m/s
• Similar and lesser threats
The US Army X Threat Small Arms Protective insert plate (XSAPI) designed to VPAM 11 was developed to protect the wearer from an “X-Threat,” most likely the M993 7.62 NATO armor-piercing round. Adept Armor’s new Colossus Armor Plate exceeds the protection offered by the XSAPI plates. The Colossus was specifically designed to thwart tungsten-cored small arms threats.
• The multi-curve Colossus is made from advanced SiC-TiB2 ceramic; Vectran®, a hi-tech liquid crystal polymer fiber known for its high-strength, high heat resistance, and low stretch capabilities; and UHMWPE composite in a thermoplastic wrap. The premium-grade thermoplastic foam on the strike-face offers drop protection, and on the body-side, it serves as an integrated trauma pad. Weighing just 6.5 lbs. in the Shooter’s Cut, the Colossus is only 1.13” in thickness.
Adept Armor’s next-gen, future-proofed, edge-to-edge protection ceramic armor plate, the Colossus is available now in a variety of configurations, and ready to meet todays and tomorrow’s threats. MSRP starts at $640.00 for a 10” x 12” unit.

Italy’s 4-14 Factory is a relatively new company founded by former Italian SOF.
I am quite impressed with their Adaptive Plate Carrier developed based on mission requirements. It is a modular and scalable system which relies on their CAGES system of Tegris panels. These can be preconfigured and attached to the front and back carriers which carry the armor.
The Adaptive Plate Carrier system consists of:
Front Carrier – Made from Durastretch, it accommodates a wide variety of soft and/or hard armor. It presents a slick appearance.
Back Carrier – Made from Durastretch, it accommodates a wide variety of soft and/or hard armor. It presents a slick appearance.
Harness – It can be used in conjunction with the Front Carrier to suspend the weight of armor. Used while parachuting or when a rear plate isn’t warranted.
Front CAGES – Very easy to attach to Front Carrier. Made from Tegris, it can be configured for a variety of loads.
Back CAGES – Very easy to attach to Back Carrier. Made from Tegris, it can be configured for a variety of loads.
MOLLE Front Flap – PALs compatible, we would call it a placard in the US.
The different components can be used together to create the right configuration for different missions.
