This partnership gives ARMORVENT^® and Point Blank the capability to offer law enforcement and corrections personnel an aftermarket solution and seamless integrated approach to improve the wearability and overall comfort of body armor.

ARMORVENT^® was created to answer the industry need for a product that makes it an easier decision to wear body armor every day.
