Eco-Benefits & Durability: Ballistic Fabrics: Our products are designed to last longer. Buying less often leads to a smaller carbon footprint…less energy used, less fuel burned and fewer materials in the landfill all lead to a cleaner planet. Spending a little more money upfront means you have access to products that can last a lifetime. A little more money spent initially is going to get you a better-quality product and one which will last a lot longer. Our fabrics are easily spot cleaned. This helps save water which would otherwise be used in the laundry process. Armored Frames: Our Armored Frames are made from Aluminum. Aluminum is 100% recyclable as well as infinitely recyclable. It is one of the only materials that takes less energy in the recycling process than it takes to produce new material. Recycled Fiber Fills: We’ve given new life to millions of plastic bottles, changing them into our soft, certified-safe recycled polyester fill. We've upcycled more than 4,299,139 bottles over the last 5 years alone, giving them new life and keeping them out of landfills longer.
