A decade rebuilding the scale.
Stealth Armor Systems (SAS MFG Inc.) is a small American body armor manufacturer with a single specialization: making rifle armor that moves.
For nearly ten years we have been quietly rebuilding Dragon Skin™ — the original overlapping-disc flexible rifle armor — from the scale geometry up. The new generation pairs a refined ceramic disc with a modern UHMWPE backer and a custom-fit carrier interface. The result is rifle-rated multi-hit protection that articulates with the operator, not against them.
We are an engineer-led shop. Every system we sell is designed, tested, and manufactured in the United States by people who build the product, fit the product, and stand behind the product. Phones are answered by the engineers who build the armor. Quotes are written by the people who built it.
Our customers are federal task forces, county SWAT teams, protective details, K9 handlers, plainclothes officers, and individual operators who want armor that does its job without dictating the mission. We are small by choice — every order is built sequentially, in the order it was received, by people we know personally.
30 days ± 2 weeks depending on inventory levels. Check with us for your order’s current ETA.
