High-Threat Energy Dispersal Pad - 10x12

The DarkMatter Difference

DARKMATTER Energy Dispersal Pads address three critical issues encountered with body-worn armor systems:

KINETIC ENERGY TRANSFER: DARKMATTER disperses the kinetic energy transferred from nearly all forms of dangerous impact-ballistic, blunt force, vehicular, and more.
BACK FACE DEFORMATION: DARKMATTER reduces BFD more effectively than any ballistic trauma pad on the market—mitigating the risk of Behind Armor Blunt Trauma (BABT)
FITMENT & COMFORT: DARKMATTER ensures fitment between armor and wearer—independent of gender, size, or body type—significantly increasing effectiveness and comfort.

NOTE: This shield is constructed of a non-ballistic material and is not intended to provide bullet resistance.

Features:

Reduce dangerous energy transfer and back face deformation (BFD) more effectively than any product on the market
Maintain resiliency in multi-hit scenarios
Lightweight, slim form factor allows for quick and easy integration with existing hard or soft armor systems
Improve fitment and comfort of body-worn armor for all genders, sizes, and body types
Field tested and Gold rated as part of the National Tactical Officers Association Member Tested & Recommended program
Manufactured in the USA at our VOSB-certified partner facility

"In thorough testing at our facility, DARKMATTER proved to significantly reduce BFD when compared to standalone armor plates and armor paired with other trauma pad materials. It also did not pulverize during multi-hit impacts like traditional foams currently used in the industry."
