American Body Armor has introduced the newest model in the renowned Xtreme Body Armor series – the Xtreme Force (XTF).
The new Xtreme Force provides more stopping power when compared to its predecessor, the Xtreme XT and is also more flexible than the Xtreme XT. Constructed from Honeywell’Äôs new Spectra Shield II, which utilizes a Spectra fiber that is 15 times stronger than steel, and Twaron®, one of the most reliable bullet–resistant materials available, the Xtreme Force is hybrid engineering at its finest.
The legacy of hybrid engineering is the foundation of the XTF and is combined with Spectra Shield II material, which utilizes the proven Shield technology and an improved Spectra® fiber. The fiber has a specific strength up to 40–percent greater than aramid fibers and helps Spectra Shield II provide up to a 20 percent improvement in ballistic performance over previous Spectra Shield ballistic composite products.
“Our ballistic composite materials have been protecting law enforcement personnel for more than 20 years and Spectra Shield II builds on this history,” said Joe Gelo, business director of Honeywell's Advanced Fiber and Composites business. “This partnership brings together some of the most advanced ballistic materials and engineering techniques available. ¬ÝWe're excited and proud to be working with American Body Armor and BAE Systems Products Group to help protect those that protect us.”
The Xtreme Force is currently available in NIJ–certified Level II vests and will be available soon in NIJ–certified Level IIIA vests.
