We manufacture body armor, hard and soft ballistic inserts, trauma inserts, knife inserts, combination inserts, custom ballistic products, and replacement ballistic inserts for Second Chance, PACA, Safariland, ABA, Point Blank and other vests. Rhino Armor puts the protection in your product. We use Kevlar, Goldflex, Spectra, Spectrashield, and hybrid fabrics for the best ballistic, blunt trauma, and fragmentation protection available.
Since our replacement products are custom made by the piece for your application we use pretested NIJ fabric standards for panel construction. Complete products are tested in house and by outside labs and meet OR EXCEED NIJ .0101.04 and interim 05 Standards and MilStd622f fragmentation standards. We test for military standards even though we do not sell to the military. Individual military personel purchasing our products can be sure we EXCEED all military requirements. We strive to provide better protection from penetration AND blunt trauma by using a combination of fabrics to give the "best of all worlds". Kevlar fabrics are best at point blank impacts, blunt trauma and fragmentation. Spectra gives more "stopping power" for less weight. So by mixing fabrics carefully, you get the best combined protection per weight.
We also produce complete products for sale to individual and agency customers through our distributors. Our finished products are designed, manufactured and tested to the highest standards. We are a small American family owned company so every aspect of the product from development to production is a group effort. Design and fabrication layout are done to ensure a high quality product and no waste of time or material in it's production. This group effort gives you the BEST product at the LOWEST price. We don't waste money on useless overhead like the big companies. Our concern is HIGH quality protection at LOW cost for all the everyday heroes who put their lives on the line for all of us.
As you can see in this layout of kevlar and spectrashield every inch of fabric is used, keeping down waste, and cost, and saving the customer money.
Proudly made in the United States of America.
We are still offering products with the NIJ 04 and interim 05 test standards. This, in our opinion is the most realistic standard offering true protection ratings. The new NIJ standard is, again in our opinion, a politically derived standard, written with the influence of politicians being directed by a certain body armor company that gets all the government business. The hoop jumping required to meet the new standard is meant to be a roadblock for small companies, NOT a way to provide field users a safer product. We don't understand how 12 hours tumbling a vest in a dryer judges real world performance of ballistics. Our products pass the ballistic test from the new standards, but we do not plan to spend the $16,000 to $18,000 it takes to do the other certification requirements. OUR GOAL IS STILL TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A SAFER VEST, NOT A MORE EXPENSIVE VEST.
God bless and protect our Troops and Public Servants.
