Bulletproof Vests

Advanced Bulletproof Vests for Tactical and Covert Protection

Arcas Gruber supplies bulletproof vests engineered to protect individuals operating in high-risk environments. Our body armor solutions are designed to provide reliable ballistic resistance while maintaining mobility, comfort, and adaptability across a wide range of operational scenarios.

Whether for law enforcement patrols, tactical units, private security teams, or executive protection, our vests are developed using modern ballistic materials and tested under internationally recognised standards to ensure consistent and verifiable performance.

Types of Bulletproof Vests

Our range of bulletproof vests is structured to address different threat profiles and operational requirements:

• Ballistic vests: Designed to stop handgun and rifle threats depending on the protection level, commonly used by police, military, and tactical units.
• Stab-resistant vests: Developed to protect against knives and edged weapons, frequently used in correctional facilities and custodial environments.
• Spike-resistant vests: Engineered to resist sharp, pointed objects such as needles or improvised weapons.

Kevlar® Vests and Lightweight Body Armor

Our Kevlar® bulletproof vests are manufactured using high-performance aramid fibres, offering an optimal balance between protection and flexibility. These vests are available in:

• Covert vests: Designed to be worn discreetly under clothing for low-visibility operations.
• Overt and tactical vests: External carriers suitable for patrol, tactical response, and high-threat deployments.

The lightweight construction allows prolonged wear without compromising mobility, making them suitable for daily operational use.

• NIJ Level III: Rifle protection when combined with hard armor plates.
