Rifle Rated Armor
Always-On Protection for First Responders
We put first responder safety first by making sure they never go to their trunks again for armor. Angel Armor’s RISE Body Armor System rifle rated vests can be worn all day, internally or externally, and provides the officer with the protection and armor needed to handle any situation.
Designed for Daily Wear
The RISE Body Armor System from Angel Armor is engineered to be worn all day, every day. Whether worn internally or externally, this body armor is built for versatility and ease of use. It enables first responders (police, deputies, firefighters, EMT’s etc..) to seamlessly integrate rifle-rated protection into their daily uniform without compromising mobility or comfort. Unlike conventional systems that require officers to retrieve armor from their vehicles, this system is always on, always ready, and always protective.
Fully Customizable for Any Department
We partner directly with Angel Armor to deliver a range of options that meet the diverse needs of today’s law enforcement agencies. This includes a variety of colors, configurations, and sizing options to ensure a perfect fit with department uniforms and operational requirements. The ability to customize not only improves comfort but also ensures the armor maintains a low profile when necessary, aiding in both tactical and community engagement scenarios.
What’s Included in the RISE System
Each RISE Body Armor package is a complete system designed to exceed expectations. It includes:
RISE carrier

Built on Partnership and Community Support
For us, it’s not just about the armor—it’s about the collaboration and community behind it. By working closely with agencies to understand their specific needs and funding challenges, we help rally communities—financially and spiritually—around their first responders.
All vests are purchased with donated funds from community members who want to see their first responders receive the highest quality armor. Whether it’s for patrol, tactical response, or community policing, we help departments select armor that delivers superior protection without compromising performance.
Performance You Can Trust
Angel Armor’s innovative approach to protective technology empowers officers with confidence in the field. The armor is rigorously tested to meet and exceed national safety standards, ensuring it performs under pressure.
Its lightweight, ergonomic construction reduces fatigue, allowing officers to stay focused and responsive throughout long shifts. With rifle-rated plate integration, it provides critical protection against high-powered threats—raising the standard for what modern body armor should deliver.

Testimonials
Police
“Our soft armor really only protects against pistol rounds, 45, 9mm, 10mm/.40 etc. Doesn’t even do that great against stab attacks. These plates will stop all of those.”
— Sergeant Brown, Golden PD
Fire
There are countless reports of firefighters being attacked while responding to calls—shot, stabbed, or assaulted during fires, car crashes, and medical emergencies. They also respond to violent incidents like domestic disputes or shootings, often alongside law enforcement. Assaults can even occur in the back of ambulances during routine transport, especially with intoxicated patients.
These incidents are underreported across the profession. As a Fire Chief, it’s disheartening to acknowledge the need for body armor for our crews. If you had asked me 24 years ago whether firefighters would ever need such protection, I would’ve said no. I was wrong. Now, I just hope they never have to see it work. (paraphrased)
Andrew York, Fire Chief
