• Fearless Concealable Carrier – This premium covert armor solution features a proprietary yoke design which offers comfort and concealment by masking the armor profile typically seen through the wearer’s shirt. The yoke also increases adjustability and load distribution of the ballistic armor panels.

• Lighthawk XT 3.0 – Now built on the widely accepted SPEAR BALCS ballistic cut, the vest provides ample coverage while maintaining a more aggressive architecture. Improved carrier technology includes an MRM Vent System, upgraded Advanced Shoulder Pads, and interchangeable cummerbund system with quick release options.

• The Fearless Tactical Carrier – This adaptable and fully adjustable plate carrier provides optimal coverage without sacrificing mobility. Armor compartments can hold multiple size rifle plates and soft armor inserts. The vest features a 4-point, quick-release system that instantly drops the carrier, for reassembly in seconds.
