We put the flex
in rifle armor.
Two flexible rifle armor platforms, one standard: patented Hexar™ hexagonal-tile flexible rifle plates and Dragon Skin™ overlapping ceramic-disc systems defeat multi-hit rifle threats — without surrendering mobility. Engineered, tested, and built to order in the USA*.

Six platforms. One uncompromising standard.
Hexar™ Flexible Rifle Plates
Patented hexagonal-tile flexible rifle plates — stand-alone Level III and ICW III+ options that bend with the body.
Dragon Skin™ Flexible Rifle Armor
Overlapping ceramic disc geometry that bends without compromise. Full-wrap rifle protection.
Hard Ceramic Plates
Ceramic strike face over polyethylene backer. Single-curve & multi-curve cuts.
Soft Body Armor
Concealable handgun-defeat panels for everyday duty and plainclothes operations.
Plate Carriers & Vests
Laser-cut MOLLE carriers engineered to host Dragon Skin™ and standard SAPI plates.
Bare Hexar tilesHexar™ Full-Coverage Flexible Rifle Armor
A closely fitted hexagonal ceramic matrix on a flexible substrate — an established ceramic layout developed into flexible front and back torso coverage. Explore the concept, patent and inventor’s story.

A decade reengineering the rigid-plate compromise.
Hard plates protect — but they don't move. Dragon Skin™ was built for the operator whose mission demands both. We've spent ten years rebuilding the scale geometry, the bonding chemistry, and the carrier interface around one principle: armor that fights with you, not against you.
Overlapping geometry
Disc-on-disc architecture maintains coverage in motion — no rigid blind spots.
Multi-hit survivable
Localized impact stays localized. Adjacent discs preserve full ballistic integrity.
Independently tested
Tested to NIJ 0101.06 protocols at certified ballistic labs across the U.S.
Operator-first
Refined over a decade with feedback from federal, military, and PSD operators.
Decisions made on data, not marketing.
Stealth Armor Systems: Flexible, Lightweight Rifle-Rated Armor— the technical resource for operators researching next-generation protection.
Mission-ready consultation.
Direct line to engineering for departmental orders, custom sizing, ballistic spec verification, and grant-funded procurement programs. We work with agencies of every size — from county SWAT to federal task forces.
