Dragon Skin™ DS 3.0
The DS 3.0 is the most advanced Dragon Skin™ system we build — a full-coverage flexible rifle armor vest, not a stand-alone plate. Overlapping boron carbide (B4C) ceramic discs deliver multi-hit rifle defeat at a dramatically reduced areal density, while maintaining full torso wrap and unrestricted mobility. Engineered for tier-one operators and agencies that refuse to trade coverage for weight.
