Trace-to-Fit Program · Made in Knoxville

Custom soft armor,
cut to your carrier.

No more stuffing armor to make it fit, modifying panels, or buying a new carrier. Trace what you already own and we cut ballistics to match it exactly.

If you can trace it, we can fit it.

Why it holds up
Works both ways · Custom carriers

Already have the armor?
We'll build the carrier.

Flip the program around. Trace the ballistics you already run and our shop sews a carrier, cummerbund, or placard built to their exact dimensions. Same prepaid kit, same fit guarantee.

FAQ

What can I get inserts for?

Backpacks, bags, briefcases, binders, chest rigs, pouches, and of course carriers, to name a few. If you can trace it on paper, we can make ballistics to fit.

Are the inserts US made?

Yes. Everything from the ballistic material to the cover that goes on top is US made, and it is all assembled here end to end.

What does the $10 cover?

The tracing paper plus shipping to you and back. The best part: it is a 100% credit toward your soft-armor order.

Do you have standard shapes?

Yes, standard cuts for BALCS, MBAV, and SAPI. Check the soft-armor page if a standard shape already fits you.

Can I get CORDURA instead of ripstop?

Yes. Note it on your tracing and we will quote you with a CORDURA cover instead of the standard balloon fabric.

What is the warranty?

A 5-year warranty on all ballistics and a 100% fit guarantee. If it does not fit, we replace it.
