There are four key elements that make the Armadillo protective system so effective:

Energy Dissipation – Armadillo armour is extremely effective in the diffusion of impact energy. Armadillo armour comprises of a series of overlapping plates that dissipate impacts by colliding with each other in very quick succession. The result is the force of impacts are distributed evenly throughout the entire structure of the outer shell and subsequently nearly all the harmful force of impact is diffused before it reaches the body.

Absorption – Any remaining impact force is neutralised further by an inner layer of memory foam that lies immediately underneath the protective outer shell. This cushioning provides an additional diffusion zone between the skin and the outer layer of armour.

Movement – Armadillo armour is fully moveable and flexible because it is made up of individual plates that are interconnected by internal ligaments. This assembly enables complete freedom of movement throughout the whole structure ensuring that all moving body parts are protected without restriction. The armour adheres to the contours, shape and size of the individual and provides a unique fit for maximum comfort.

Detachability – Armadillo armour is affixed to the carrier or sleeve using sections of Velcro that hold it firmly in place during use. Afterwards the outer shell can be removed from the supporting garment enabling the wearer to wash the unit separately. This detachable feature also means that the wearer can customise the product by selecting various grades, thickness and colours of armour to suit individual preferences or requirements.
