GASTONIA, N.C. – January 16, 2023 – Premier Body Armor is proud to announce both the continued collaboration with Viktos and the newest innovation in ballistic protection. With the release of Viktos’ newest chest rigs comes Premier Body Armor’s brand-new body armor design, ArmorSHIFT.
"When Viktos came to us with a goal of utilizing a full 10"x12" soft armor insert with the Taculus and Low Key chest rigs, we were excited for the challenge” said Alex Stewart, President of Premier Body Armor. “After working through several prototypes, we landed on our new ArmorSHIFT design. ArmorSHIFT allows the wearer to nearly double their armor coverage on the fly! Simply pull the webbing loop at the bottom of the dual insert design and the secondary armor panel shifts into position giving a full-sized 10"x12" coverage. We're excited about this innovation and can't wait to see what else comes out of this partnership in 2023."
The Low Key and Taculus by Viktos both feature versatility that improves the functionality of the chest rig. While the smaller dimensions make these rigs perfect for EDC carry, it also brought about the challenge of providing 10”x12” ballistic protection of the Cardiac Box, home of the most vital organs. This is where ArmorSHIFT was born.
ArmorSHIFT is the new body armor design from Premier Body Armor that allows two smaller panels to smoothly shift into position with a quick pull on the release loop. This creates full coverage most “traditional” 10”x12” panels provide. The revolutionary design is the first of its kind, and already proves to provide a way to allow a greater variety of bag sizes to include Level IIIA protection. For Premier Body Armor, this means greater peace of mind for more people.
Premier Body Armor looks forward to seeing how ArmorSHIFT disrupts the body armor industry, and is excited for the continued partnership with Viktos.
