Tatou Armors IIIA soft armor has 10% less weight and has 15% less back face deformation than other commercially available soft armor systems. This directly translates into less blunt force trauma to vest wearers. While 10% might not sound like much, we know that when you have all the extra gear to wear you are grateful for a lighter vest.

Tatou Armor offers an affordable soft armor system that meets the gold standard of 1 lb per sqft areal density.

Tatou Armor IIIA soft panels achieves protection against high performance hand guns such as the .44 Magnum, .357 Sig, and the .9 mm using less material. Tatou's hybrid fibers mix absorb the energy of the bullet along the molecules of each fiber, catching it in a multi-layer web of advanced fabric. The material absorbs and disperses the energy of the impact to underlying layers in the insert that help reduce the amount of transferred energy that causes the back-face deformation which can cause blunt trauma. The final inner layers of material are able to disperse the energy and helps diminish any trauma.

This product is perfect as a standalone IIIA/HG2 ballistic protection, hard armor backer.
