"Ballistic Armor Load Carriage System" or BALCS for short. These panels have
been hugely popular due mostly to the inundation of the EAGLE CIRAS cover
platform since 2001. Our inserts are hermetically sealed to keep moisture
out, and we make them in the RAV Paraclete platform as well, which is
probably the second most popular rapid release cover platform. The
popularity for our BALCS inserts stems mostly due to the fact that EAGLE
doesn't make ballistic panels and although Paraclete does there is no doubt
by testing results that the OEM replacement panels offered by EAS inc. under
our the Evolution Armor brand name is a superior product. The numbers below
speak for themselves. We offer the panels in Small - Xlarge sizes, and even make
ICW
flexible rifle armor BALCS inserts, so you can throw those old hard
plates away, and enjoy flexible comfort even against rifle threats.
Quantum KXP 3-A ~ This system was inspired by two very high
performing materials. In quantum theory there is a notion that for every
possibility that exist, in some alternate or parallel universe anything that
can happen does. We certainly don't know if that's true, but there are so
many different materials, deniers, material configurations out of what
literally is an infinite possibility of variations that exist only a few can
yield the extreme performance of the Quantum KXP 3-A. We use Spectra 2 and
Kevlar XP, which is DuPon't highest performing Kevlar available that produces
performance number

About 1 Lbs/Sq. Ft.
9mm V-50 1901 Ft./Sec
9mm Ranger SXT 127 gr. +P+ 1651 ft./Sec
17 Gr. Frag V-50 2016 Ft./Sec and at 14.77 Oz/Sq. Ft. 2010 Ft./Sec
Thickness: 6 - 6.5mm thick
44 Magnum BFS (Back Face Signature) readings during NIJ testing 34 - 42,
37mm average
(
some companies make a big deal about BFS being lower, but often they were
tested before the NIJ test template change in 2005 discussed in the FBI Vs. NIJ
testing article,
http://www.evolutionarmor.com/testing.htm, or they are significantly
heavier than 1 Lbs/Sq. Ft, but still can't achieve the ultra extreme
performance the numbers above represent)
Evolutions GTX 3-A ~ This is our low cost mid range
performance system, and it provides very good performance at 19.2 - 19.5 Oz/Sq. Ft. This systems is modeled after an NIJ certified 0101.06 ballistic construction. There is not too much to say except if you're short on
cash this is an excellent protection for a reasonable price. This is our
patent pending Evo-Flex material.
