Adept Armor Launches BulletFoam Torso Pad, First Armor Made from Its New Ballistic Foam
The Rundown
Adept Armor has introduced the BulletFoam Torso Pad, the first product built from its new proprietary ballistic foam. The headline is weight: the panel comes in at just 231 grams (about half a pound) while still stopping 9mm threats and fragmentation.
Adept positions it as a flexible layer that can be worn on its own for low-profile protection or stacked behind a hard rifle plate as spall and fragment mitigation. The company also notes the material floats — more than three times its own weight — which is an unusual property for body armor and a potential edge for maritime or water-adjacent use.
Key Points
- First product made from Adept Armor's new 'BulletFoam' ballistic foam
- 231-gram (0.51 lb) torso panel — very light for soft armor
- Rated to stop 9mm and fragmentation threats
- Works standalone or layered behind a rifle plate
- Buoyant — floats more than three times its own weight
