Articles mentioning Armor Express

  • Ballistic Helmets — The Complete ArmorOS Guide

    The authoritative hub for ballistic helmets — NIJ 0106 and ACH-GEN-II standards, cut styles (ACH / MICH / FAST / high-cut), pad vs dial retention, NVG mounting (Wilcox, Ops-Core VAS), and procurement. Source-cited across every spec.

  • Ballistic Shields — The Complete ArmorOS Guide

    The authoritative hub for ballistic shields — NIJ 0108.01 plus the new ASTM E3347 specification and E3141 test method, handheld vs standoff shields, viewport options, maintenance, and LE procurement. Source-cited across every spec.

  • Body Armor — The Complete ArmorOS Guide

    The authoritative hub for US body armor — NIJ 0101.06 vs 0101.07, civilian purchase rules, BVP grant eligibility, LE procurement paths, dealer directory, and product-level certifications. Every linked guide is sourced from primary documents.

  • Cooperative Purchasing for Body Armor — NASPO, Sourcewell, OMNIA, HGAC, TIPS Compared

    Five major cooperatives serve state/local/tribal LE armor procurement: NASPO ValuePoint, Sourcewell, OMNIA Partners, HGACBuy, TIPS-USA. Plus state-specific (CMAS, TX DIR, NY OGS). Here's how they compare.

  • Corrections Armor — Stab-Resistant or Ballistic for Facility Staff

    Correctional officers face fundamentally different threats from patrol officers. Improvised weapons — shanks, sharpened toothbrushes, fire-hardened plastic — demand a different NIJ standard entirely. Here's how to right-size armor by role.

  • Female Body Armor — The Contoured-Panel Problem

    Unisex body armor is flat-front armor forced onto a bust — it rides up, gaps, and fails to protect. This guide covers contoured-panel construction, OEMs with serious female-fit engineering, and how LE agencies should write fit requirements into an RFP.
