Novasteel Breastplate – Ballistic Riot Armor

RIOT ARMOR

Novasteel Breastplate

• Riot Armor • Up-armorable Steel Plate Carrier • Standalone Ballistic Armor

The NovaSteel Breastplate is an ultra-versatile torso and shoulder armor system.

Primarily developed as a revolutionary leap forward in riot armor — since no other riot gear to date can stop the full spectrum of handgun, edged, and blunt impact threats — the NovaSteel Breastplate goes even further. It is a truly universal armor system, multi-faceted in ways unmatched by any other.

RIOT ARMOR

A paradigm shift:

Standard riot armor is much like football armor or motocross armor in that it’s only rated for blunt impact protection and is not intended to protect its wearer from bullets, knives, or spikes.

Many riot officers wear soft armor panels underneath their riot armor torso protectors — but this adds a thermal, weight, and logistical burden, and still doesn’t offer comprehensive protection from knives and other bladed weapons.

The Adept Armor NovaSteel Breastplate is a riot armor torso and shoulder protector — and a drop-in replacement for existing riot armor torso/shoulder parts — with vastly improved ballistic and ergonomic properties. It represents a paradigm shift in protection against the full spectrum of street-level threats.

Concealable Multi-Threat Armor:

The NovaSteel Breastplate is an excellent option for NIJ IIIA protection. At less than 0.1″ thick, it’s the thinnest Level IIIA armor ever made, and is lightweight and easily concealable. It offers comparable coverage to most soft armor systems. Backface deformation against the common handgun threats, e.g. 9mm FMJ, is extremely low, at less than 10mm on average. And unlike existing concealable armor, it also offers stab and spike protection up to the highest certified levels.

Uparmorable Steel Plate Carrier:

The breastplate is adaptable to more extreme circumstances. In fact, it’s a first-in-class plate carrier which can be up-armored with specially-built plates. Ultra-light RF1 plates are available now, which weigh just 1.7 pounds each, and enable the breastplate to handle NIJ Level III and similar rifle threats. RF2 plates are forthcoming. Up-armoring the breastplate requires two bolts, included with each breastplate, and can be done in minutes.

Moreover, the breastplate can be fitted with MOLLE placards for overt use as a structural plate carrier.
