Safariland Introduces Matrix Family of Ballistic Packages at 2017 SHOT Show
Entry-level ballistic offering with enhanced comfort and value
ONTARIO, California – Safariland® Armor, a brand of The Safariland Group, today announced it will introduce the Matrix™ family of ballistic packages at the 2017 SHOT (Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade) Show, booth #12762. Through a partnership with Teijin and Honeywell®, these ballistic panels are engineered with a new proprietary hybrid design. By combining woven material with Honeywell Spectra and other non-woven material, this lightweight panel provides an impeccable balance between blunt trauma reduction and ballistic resistance.
“The Matrix ballistic package is an excellent choice for officers who demand a balance of comfort, value and flexibility,” said Category Director of Concealable Armor Tim O’Brien. “Its new dual-cover design is softer and more flexible than previous entry-level models, providing greater protection against the elements.”
Through Safariland Armor’s years of experience and collaboration with leading manufacturers Teijin and Honeywell, the ballistic materials in this hybrid design provide dependable protection while maintaining a thin and flexible fit. Available in level II and level IIIA threat protection levels for both male and female, the Matrix panel strikes a balance between blunt trauma reduction and ballistic resistance, including special threats.
Available Spring 2017, the Matrix family of ballistic packages will be on display at The Safariland Group booth, #12762, throughout SHOT Show 2017, from January 17 to 20. For more information, please visit www.safariland.com/safariland-body-armor.
