Premier Body Armor is pleased to announce a partnership with Alexium International Group Limited, makers of Eclipsys™—an adaptive cooling technology that is set to revolutionize the body armor industry. Eclipsys-based products will debut in armor systems produced by Premier Body Armor at Shot Show 2022.
“One of the inherent aspects of body armor is its insulative properties,” said Alex Stewart, President of Premier Body Armor. “This can be a much-appreciated feature in cooler months, but during the summer it can become a real problem. It can lead to heat rash, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and in rare cases heat stroke.”
“At Premier Body Armor, we believe that we have found a solution. One that is affordable, requires no batteries or wires, adds zero noticeable weight or thickness, and can be retrofitted to any ballistic vest or plate.”
“Eclipsys cooling technology can reduce the excess fatigue that comes from wearing armor. There’s no way to exaggerate how significant this development is—we’re seeing a 200% reduction in heat. Premier Body Armor knows that armor has to be worn to be effective, and we’re pleased to have the opportunity to bring Eclipsys cooling technology into our body armor.”
Premier Body Armor began field tests with law enforcement officers in 2021. The results from the testing showed significant results. The cooling provided by the Eclipsys lined vests provided enhanced recovery time and diminished fatigue. The addition of Eclipsys adds no noticeable weight or bulk and can be retrofitted to any ballistic vest or plate.
