STAB PROTECTION VEST

Our core business is the supply of Stab Protection Vest and clothing to government, corporate and individual clients, Australia and New Zealand wide.

Response Wear Pty Ltd was chosen as the Australian and New Zealand authorised agent for Armadillo Tex stab protection vest & clothing.

In 2016, the German security giant, Armadillo Tex GmbH, reached a memorandum of strategic cooperation in Remscheid, Germany and the two sides agreed to set up a Research & Development, and a technology centre in Germany, and a Sino-German joint venture factory in China to jointly work on lighter, thinner and softer stab-resistant materials and garment solutions.

Patent pending technology
The technology used to make our stab protection vests and other stab-proof garments is innovative and unique throughout the world. After many years of intensive research, they have succeeded in manufacturing a textile composite that is safe, light and flexible at the same time.

The high strength fibres and the energy absorbing plastic mean that the specific properties of this composite even exceed those of stainless steel plates. The weight is approx. 4.5 times lower than for a comparably thick stainless steel plate.

EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTOR

Response wear is the exclusive & only authorised distributor of Armadillo Tex world class stab protection products for Australia, New Zealand, and
the whole Oceania region.
