Hardwire® 57 Ballistic Panel

The collaboration between Safariland and Hardwire began in 2016, paving the way for a new generation of innovative, ultra-lightweight ballistic panels. This partnership has driven continuous advancements in soft armor technology—culminating in the launch of the Hardwire Level IIIA .57 PPSF system.

Today, it remains the lightest and thinnest ballistic panel on the market—significantly lighter than its predecessor. Built with a stitch-less design, advanced shock absorption, and high-pressure construction, this latest version is powered by a stronger, next-generation fiber from Avient Protective Materials. 

Backed by fully automated robotic production, every panel delivers unmatched consistency, performance, and precision. When every ounce matters, choose the lightest armor trusted to perform.
