Uncompromising Protection
Our riot gear provides robust, lightweight protection with full-body coverage and easy deployment. It ensures agility for navigating dynamic environments and integrates with ballistic options for enhanced safety. The psychological comfort boosts confidence and focus in high-pressure situations.
High-Level Protection
Our products are essential for high-threat situations, providing robust protection against blunt force trauma with a comfortable, secure fit. Lightweight and easy to deploy, our riot gear offers full-body coverage through flexible molded polypropylene panels. Available in various protection levels, our gear integrates seamlessly with soft or hard ballistic options for enhanced safety.
Freedom of Movement
Riot gear enables the wearer to maintain the agility and responsiveness that is essential for effective navigation in volatile and dynamic environments. This freedom of movement allows personnel to react quickly to changing situations, enhancing their ability to manage crowd dynamics and maintain control without compromising their safety or operational effectiveness.
Psychological Comfort
The peace of mind that comes from knowing they are well protected increases the confidence, allowing to focus more on duties without undue stress or distraction. This contributes to better decision-making and overall effectiveness in dealing with high-pressure situations, ensuring that operators can perform their duties with greater clarity and resilience.
Flame-Retardant Option
In addition to our regular riot gear, we also make a flame-retardant version. The padding, Velcro® fasteners, plastic/aluminium pieces, textiles, and other components are all certified flame-retardant.

Frequently asked questions
Riot gear is designed to protect against a range of threats commonly encountered during high-pressure scenarios and confrontations. Here are some of the weapons and threats that riot gear can protect against:
- blunt force: batons, sticks, rocks and other blunt objects
- sharp objects: knives, broken glass and other sharp objects
- projectiles: rubber bullets, bean bag rounds and thrown objects like bricks and bottles
- fire: fire-resistant materials can protect against Molotov cocktails and other incendiary devices
- ballistics: some riot gear includes ballistic protection against small caliber firearms
- chemical agents: tear gas, pepper spray and other irritants
Riot gear typically includes helmets, face shields, body armour, gloves, as well as arm and leg protectors, each designed to protect specific areas of the body from these threats.
Law enforcement uses various riot gear to ensure operators safety, including:
- body armour: chest, back, and ballistic vests guard against blunt force and firearms
- gloves: shields hands from cuts and impacts
- arm and leg guards: protect elbows, forearms, shins, and knees
- boots: reinforced for foot protection
- riot shields: block projectiles and crowd pushback
- communication equipment: radios and headsets for coordination
- utility belts: carry essential gear like batons and handcuffs
- protective clothing: Fire-resistant gear for extra protection
This gear offers comprehensive protection while allowing for mobility and effective response.
To choose the right riot gear, the following factors should be considered:
- risk assessment: evaluate potential threats officers may face, such as projectiles, blunt force, sharp objects, or chemical agents
- regulations and standards: ensure gear complies with relevant safety standards and regulations
- fit and comfort: gear should fit well and allow for mobility to perform duties effectively without hindrance
- protection levels: Select gear with appropriate levels of protection against identified threats (e.g., ballistic resistance, impact resistance)
- durability: gear should be durable enough to withstand repeated use and potential impacts
- versatility: consider gear that can be used in various situations and weather conditions
- communication compatibility: ensure gear accommodates communication devices like radios and headsets
- training and familiarity: choose gear that officers are trained to use effectively and comfortably
- cost and budget: balance the cost of gear with its quality and protective capabilities
- feedback and reviews: Seek input from experienced officers and review feedback on gear performance
By considering these factors, law enforcement agencies can select riot gear that enhances officer safety and effectiveness during civil disturbances and other challenging situations.
Riot gear typically consists of several key components designed to protect law enforcement personnel. Here’s an overview of these components:
Helmet: provides head protection against impacts from projectiles, blunt objects, and falls. Some helmets also include integrated face shields or visors to protect the face from debris and liquids
Body armour:
- ballistic vests: Offer protection against firearms and sharp objects. They come in different levels of ballistic resistance, typically rated by standards such as NIJ (National Institute of Justice) levels
- chest and back protectors: additional armour plates or padding to protect vital organs from blunt force trauma
Arm and leg protection:
- arm protectors: protect forearms and elbows from impacts and sharp objects
- leg protectors: shield shins and knees from kicks, projectiles, and other impacts
- gloves: reinforced gloves protect hands from cuts, burns, and impacts while maintaining dexterity for handling equipment and tasks
Shields: riot shields are sturdy shields used to protect against thrown projectiles and to create a barrier between officers and crowds. They may be transparent for visibility and can be equipped with handles and straps for stability.
Gas masks: essential for protection against tear gas, pepper spray, and other chemical irritants deployed during riots or crowd control situations. They provide respiratory protection and often have filters to purify the air.
Communication equipment: radios and headsets facilitate clear communication between officers and command centers, ensuring coordination and safety during operations
Utility belts: equipped with holsters for firearms, batons, pepper spray, handcuffs, and other essential tools and equipment needed for riot control and law enforcement tasks
Fire-resistant clothing: some riot gear includes fire-resistant materials to protect against Molotov cocktails and other incendiary devices
Each component is designed to work together to provide comprehensive protection while allowing operators to maintain mobility and perform their duties effectively.
