By providing the industry’s first modular, scalable platform that offers com- fort, performance, and unprecedented system flexibility, the Transformer Armor System revolutionizes the way traditional concealable armor is used, worn, and cared for by law enforcement professionals.

Unlike any other concealable carrier system on the market today, the core of the Transformer Armor System is an internal speed plate carrier strapping system that connects directly to the ballistic inserts. The system provides a vast range of adjustability for comfort, snugging the vest close to the body so that it fits like a glove.

The Transformer Armor System carrier sleeves (outer carriers) provide quick, effortless removal for laundering and replacement with a spare carrier sleeve, or removal for rapid conversion to a mission specific overt carrier. At KDH Defense Systems, the only line we blur is the one between form and function. Our law enforcement concealable and tactical carrier designs bridge the gap between comfort and performance because our customers wouldn’t have it any other way. Genuine innovation that raises the bar of performance, so that law enforcement officers can do the same.
