We have just updated our tactical body armor section to include standard and upgraded packages for the Lighthawk XT body armor carrier with either Halo IIIA or Quantum IIIA body armor panels. We have also added the Lighthawk PC and Hardcore DM body armor carriers.
Here is a breakdown of the new tactical armor:
On Duty Gear is proud to carry the new Vortex body armor by Armor Express. It takes the place of theEmperorwhile offering a lot more flexibility and more protection.
The new Vortex body armor offers users the combined characteristics of strength, comfort and performance that Kevlar brand products have been delivering for decades. Vortex armor comes standard with a Revolution carrier and a 5×8 Ara-Shock ICW armor plate.
100% Dupont Kevlar brand fibers and using Armor Express’ Comfort Craft stitching technique.
Armor Express has continued to invest in exciting new technologies. Guided by their Performance, Comfort, and Value design philosophy, their latest NIJ 0101.06 certified Razor and Vortex armor raise the bar for performance and comfort.
Under Armour just announced that they will be selling some new Wounded Warrior Project t-shirts themed after the new Battleship movie. 100% off the profits from the WWP T’s will go towards the Wounded Warrior Project. While we will not have the shirts available to sell at On Duty Gear, we still encourage you to buy the shirts from Under Armour to support the Wounded Warrior Project.

Here are some pictures we just took of our canine employee Bella, a 130 lb Bull Mastiff, decked out in an Armor Express K-9 Armor Carrier. She has been a great sport with the sizing, wearing and picture taking. We are planning on bringing her to some departments and shows in the future to showcase what a great product Armor Express makes to help protect our canine officers.
We’ve got your K-9 partner covered with the new and improved custom sized K-9 armor. With improved comfort, mobility and reduced weight, the new K-9 amror offers outstanding functionality.
The K-9 features a robust crowd control handle, two 2″ D-rings for short or long leads, an elastic pocket for flashlights and tracking devices, as well as an optional left and right ID tags.
Made from durable nylon material, the K-9 has six 2″ buckles for ease of getting into, adjusting and removing. The K-9 provides maximum coverage to the vital organs, and even has a rear extension panel to accommodate longer torsos.
At On Duty Gear, we love this new armor by Armor Express. The RAZOR is lighter and thinner than the Seraph, and cheaper than the Halo. It is a great addition to our body armor line by a great company like Armor Express!
RAZOR, the latest breakthrough in armor technology, is our lightest weight and thinnest body armor system ever! Based on innovative fabric technologies from Dupont and DSM, the Razor sets the mark for performance and comfort. The Razor comes standard with a Revolution carrier and the ultra-thin 5×8 Ara-Shock ICW armor plate.
Made from a proprietary blend of cutting edge Kevlar and Dyneema fabrics stitched together utilizing their Comfort Craft manufacturing process.

Armor Express is going to be coming out with two new vest called the Razor and the Vortex. The Razor is a little lighter and thinner than the Seraph and a little cheaper than the Halo. They are still in testing awaiting word from the NIJ, but we can’t wait to roll them out once they launch.
I’m working with Armor Express to get some more information on each vest and will keep this post updated as we do.
Following up on our earlier post about the Razor armor, Armor Express has also released the Vortex Body Armor and the ARA-Shock ICW Plates.
The Vortex is a Level IIIA armor that at only 1.12 lbs and .21″ thick, weighing 10% less than a Quantum panel and 7% less than a Halo, but can still pass a V50-.44 at 1651 ft/s with only a 37.1mm back face signature (44mm is allowed).
The Vortex, Razor and the ICW plates are all available at On Duty Gear, provided you are a First Responder or Military personnel.
The new Vortex body armor offers users the combined characteristics of strength, comfort, and performance that Kevlar brand products have been delivering for decades. Vortex armor comes standard with a Revolution carrier and a 5″ x 8″ Ara-Shock ICW armor plate.
The Vortex consists of 100% Dupont Kevlar brand fibers using Armor Express’ Comfort Craft stitching technique.
Upgrade your level II or IIA soft armor up to level IIIA ballistic protection. This semi rigid armor plate is only 0.18″ thin!
Back in January we announced that Armor Express had developed two new body armor panels, the Razor and the Vortex. Both have passed the NIJ testing and the Razor is now for sale at On Duty Gear. The Razor uses a new process to create an armor panel that is not only thinner and lighter than previous designs, but also costs less! This one has us excited! We will be adding the Vortex, along with Armor Express’ new ultra-thin Ara-Shock ICW armor plate later this week.
