Developments in body armor over the last thirty years are numerous, but very few actually have revolutionized the industry. The last two major developments were the introduction of Kevlar and Spectra products which significantly lowered weights compared to ballistic nylon. Now, Pinnacle Armor presents a revolutionary technology called DRAGON SKIN, the first practical, FLEXIBLE BODY ARMOR that defeats rifle rounds.
"Dragon Skin" is worn by personnel expected to be in high-threat situations. The Dragon Skin vests are known for their silver dollar sized circular discs that overlap like fish scales or scale armour This makes the vests flexible and allows for multiple hits. The discs are composed of a silicon carbide ceramic matrices and laminates much likethe larger ceramic plates from other types of bulletproof vests.
