Safarliand states “Safariland®, a brand of The Safariland Group, a leading global provider of safety products designed for the public safety, military, professional and outdoor markets and one of Cadre Holdings, Inc.’s (NYSE: CDRE) (“Cadre”) key brands, is excited to introduce the SX™ HP Ballistic Panel and Hardwire 57 Ballistic Panel, both of which will be launching at the 2025 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, January 21-24.
The Safariland SX™ HP is the thinnest, lightest, and most protective hybrid ballistic armor ever developed. Engineered with groundbreaking technologies and cutting-edge materials from Avient, Honeywell, and Dupont to provide a 20% weight reduction and a 20% increase in ballistic performance.
The SX™ HP is available in male and female unstructured styles, with an additional female structured option for precise, tailored protection. The updated design enhances concealability and ergonomics, ensuring maximum comfort.
“We are excited to announce two new ballistic panels created strictly for law enforcement professionals,” said James Duncan, Vice President and General Manager of Armor for Safariland. “The safety of law enforcement professionals is of the utmost importance to us here at Safariland, which is why we made improvements to our industry-trusted ballistic panels.”
Safariland is also proud to announce the Hardwire Level 3A .57 PSF system launch, a game-changer in ballistic protection. In 2016, Hardwire entered the soft ballistic market in collaboration with Safariland, which marked a revolutionary advancement in armor technology.
The Hardwire Level 3A .57 PPSF system is significantly lighter and thinner than the previous model while remaining the world’s lightest ballistic panel. Hardwire’s stitch-less design, shock absorption technology, and high-pressure construction, now infused with a stronger, next-generation fiber, make this the lightest ballistic panel available. Combined with fully automated robotic production, Hardwire ensures unmatched precision and quality in every piece.”
