Paraclete’s Aspis is a lightweight personal defense shield that offers Level IIIA+ protection. Available with or without a viewport, the Aspis is a 100% boltless system (note that the above shield is a prototype) with dual side weapon deployment shelves and a V-shape that adds strength, mitigates ricochets, and diverts away from the shield center. The interior of the shield features a stationary handle, foam pad, and Velcro forearm strap system which allows for improved manipulation of the shield. Paraclete also offers training on how to utilize and properly manipulate the Aspis.
