TAURUS™ IN DETAIL
ARMOUR OVERVIEW
With the varying needs and different roles within security services, law enforcement and among military users, a one-size-fits-all solution to armour is inadequate. To alleviate this, we offer multiple armour layups built around unique design objectives for differing operational roles.
Our diverse layup options allow you to choose your ideal balance between price, weight, thickness, and protection to match your wear profile and threat mitigation requirements.

PROTECTION TO THE CORE
Our soft armour inserts have an integrated pocket sewn into the cover, designed to accept our proprietary CARNA™ SA anti-trauma inserts and provide enhanced spine and sternum protection.
In the event a bullet strikes the sternum or the spine area of the vest, the insert will prevent critical injuries, such as rib or sternum fractures, alongside severe numbness from damaged vertebrae.
Constructed out of a consolidated layup of ultra-thin polypropylene fibers in a hardened matrix, the 2 mm thin insert doesn't restrict movement, and provides exceptionally efficient energy dispersal without the risk of fracturing or breaking during impact.

VALUES ARE INDICATIVE OF PERFORMANCE, AND REAL-WORLD PERFORMANCE MAY VARY DEPENDING ON THE THREAT AND ARMOUR.
COMFORT, NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCE
To increase wearing comfort and cooling performance, the TAURUS™ wraps its inner SPACETEC® liner around the front of the carrier, acting as an air duct and increasing effective circulation.
This wrapped liner acts as padding whenever the user assumes a shooting stance, eliminating any discomfort that typically occurs from pressing your biceps against the sides of a ballistic panel.
KEEP YOUR COOL FOR ALL-DAY WEAR
Featuring an internal liner based on Heathcoat's SPACETEC® volumetric mesh, the vest maintains breathability while promoting airflow and naturally regulating air distribution.
With embedded COOLMAX® fibers and ingrained silver ions, the liner draws moisture away from the body while also preventing the buildup of odour-causing bacteria.
In addition to keeping you cool and comfortable, SPACETEC® also provides excellent pressure distribution, eliminating possible hotspots and uncomfortable pinching zones while having remarkable compression recovery. This, in turn, yields excellent additional shock absorption, acting as an integrated trauma pad, minimising the effects of potential impacts.
WHERE CONCEALABILITY MEETS COMFORT
The TAURUS™ features edge-to-edge padded shoulder closures, providing a larger resting area than traditional concealable vests, making it especially suitable for multi-threat armour layups.
With full wrap-around shoulder closures terminating on the back panel, the TAURUS™ maintains its concealable profile and convex outline despite its double-stacked padding, making it as concealable as competing offerings but with significantly increased comfort.
INCREASED VERSATILITY WITH FUNCTIONAL EXTRAS
To increase stability and prevent the vest from shifting around or riding up when sitting, three included mesh tails can easily be added or removed from the carrier through on demand.
Additional upgrade paths to increase utility as a modular equipment-carrying platform for undercover operatives are underway and will be added when development has concluded.
INDUSTRY-LEADING WEAR RESISTANCE
We use a unique cover material made of lightweight, abrasion-resistant polyamide face fabric coated with a durable water-repellent. Our internal liner is TPU-based and features UV-blocking pigment to protect the ballistic materials from photooxidation caused by the sun's UV radiation, ensuring consistent performance throughout the insert's lifespan, no matter the environment.
Our two-stage sealing process ensures that every insert is safe from hydrolytic degradation from water, vapour, or general moisture. We accomplish this by pre-sealing the edges in custom-made moulds for consistency, sealing potential leaks from material bending and creasing before finishing the edges using an ultrasonic welding process to fuse the cover materials together.
