ABOUT US

In business for more than 20 years the goal at Reliance Armor Systems, Inc. is to provide comfortable, wearable, body protective apparel with exceptional ballistic protection.

Centrally located in Cincinnati, Ohio Reliance’s modern manufacturing and R&D facility boasts the latest in computer programmable equipment so every step of the production process is efficiently and consistently controlled. As an innovator in the protective apparel industry Reliance has recorded many firsts, and several patent pendings including:

  • an exclusive Armor Refurbishment Program
  • the first and leading moisture management system using TRANSPOR® the most technologically advance anti-moisture fabric available
  • patent pending for our seam sealing process that keeps armor ballistic panels protected from moisture degradation
  • patent pending for our combination Portal Ladder/Bomb Blanket product designed to act as a shield, ram, portal access or stretcher

Building on the success of these innovations, Reliance Armor Systems, Inc. has rapidly grown in size and acceptance as a leader in the protective armor industry. Our guaranteed 14- day delivery program is another first in the industry. Customers rave about our ability to deliver custom armor in 14 days or less while the industry struggles to deliver in 2-3 months.

We can take your measurement info over the phone, ship your customized vest in 14 calendar days and provide an extended 12-year warranty (see our vest refurbishment program). We believe that by offering these service programs we set ourselves apart from others in the industry.

Our most recent product advancement is the VMax™ line of ultra lightweight personal body armor. This ultra-lightweight armor is designed to defeat maximum velocity ammunition, including the Winchester Ranger 9mm 127 gr. +P+. Unlike many competing ultra-lightweight armor systems, Vmaxä is truly affordable.

On the drawing board are several new developments that will enhance the performance of soft armor solutions in both the ballistic and edged weapons categories. Reliance is committed to protecting the lives of the men and women who work to keep us safe and out of harms way. Looking forward, Reliance Armor Systems, Inc. promises to be an industry leader for many years to come.
