Our innovative stab-resistant vests are the result of years of research and development. We have developed a groundbreaking technology that sets our vests apart in terms of comfort. We achieve this through our unique stab-resistant material, which is flexible, lightweight, and breathable. Our certified products are particularly secure against attacks with dangerous edged weapons. With our range of different products, various use cases are perfectly addressed. These are just a few of the reasons why our vests are preferred by authorities, security companies, rescue services, and individuals.

High quality materials for the protective material and the outer fabric.

At 1.3 kilograms and up, it is extremely light.

Exceptionally flexible thanks to their scale structure.

Breathable and comfortable thanks to the outer fabric made of special mesh structure.

Outstanding technology

Conventional vests typically use rigid metal plates for protection, which naturally adds a significant amount of weight. In order to minimize the impact on mobility and reduce weight, such vests are often equipped with a very limited protection area. The result is compromised protection with poor comfort during wear. Since these plates, much like pure aramid vests, provide no breathability, comfort is further restricted, especially during intense operations.
In contrast, our vests are exceptionally lightweight while providing extensive protection, covering large portions of the front and back areas. Additionally, we offer optional side protection to ensure all-around safety. This is made possible by our flexible and breathable protective material, which conforms excellently to the body, ensuring an optimal fit and the highest level of comfort during wear.

Comfortable and safe

Even when compared to chainmail, our vests offer significant advantages. While chainmail typically needs to be very robust to effectively defend against knife attacks, our material is much lighter for similar levels of protection. A major drawback of chain constructions is their lack of protection against needle punctures and other sharp, thin objects. Our design excels in defending against such attacks as well. Our certified products also provide outstanding protection against blunt force, such as punches or kicks.

Our vests can offer a larger protection area because the material compresses when seated, preventing discomfort. Upon standing, it expands again, allowing us to effectively protect the lower abdominal area with its vital organs.

Carbon or fiberglass?

Carbon or fiberglass?

For our stab-resistant materials, we utilize two different variations based on the same underlying technology. Both materials consist of a high-strength aramid fabric with composite plates applied to it. Thanks to an overlap, even a knife cannot penetrate the gaps. For our particularly lightweight puncture-resistant materials, we use a fiberglass composite. For our certified products, we have opted for the best materials available: high-strength aramid, indestructible glass fibers, and ultra-lightweight carbon fibers. This enables our materials to meet the rigorous certification requirements of VPAM according to KDIW 2004 standards.

Globale Zusammenarbeit

Vor über zehn Jahren begann an der berühmten Donghua Universität in China die Suche nach einer neuen Art von Stichschutzweste. Natürlich sollte sie ausreichenden Stichschutz bieten. Aber auch leicht, bequem, angenehm zu tragen, flexibel und individualisierbar sein. Dann 2018 endlich der Durchbruch. Die dortigen Entwickler suchten nach zuverlässigen und fachkundigen Vertriebspartnern in Europa
…und fanden in den beiden Maschinenbauingenieuren für Kunststoff- und Textiltechnik, Dr. Nadine Jungbecker und Dr. Philip Jungbecker, die richtigen Partner.

Das revolutionäre Projekt Ihres ehemaligen Kollegen überzeugte die beiden. Die eigens zu diesem Zweck ins Leben gerufenen Armadillo Tex GmbH mit Sitz in Remscheid ist seither für den Vertrieb der stichfesten Westen neuster Generation in Deutschland und Europa zuständig. Nebem dem reinen Vertieb hat es sich die Armadillo Tex GmbH auch zur Aufgabe gemacht, die spezifischen Anforderungen im europäischen Raum abzudecken und unsere Produkte zusammen mit unseren Kunden weiter zu entwickeln.
