From the leader in ballistic shield manufacturing, PROTECH® Tactical is excited to launch the X Series of lightweight Ballistic Shields. This unique product offering boasts one of the lightest handgun threat shields currently available, all in part to a patent-pending design. The X Series is born from an innovative process of molding the lens cap into the body of the shield as the ballistic material is pressed, resulting in the elimination of traditional points of weakness, excess hardware and components, ensures overall ballistic integrity and reduces weight. Taking its dimensions from the original Defender shield, the Defender X is a mid-sized shield ideal for high-speed entries and active shooter responses.
