ONTARIO, California - Second Chance® announced that it has released its new family of armor solutions - The Summit™ ST. The Summit ST design was developed to offer an all DuPont™ Kevlar® ballistic package. DuPont™ Kevlar® fibers have pioneered the industry in the science of ballistic protection for more than 40 years. By uniting Kevlar® with GORE-TEX® fabrics, Second Chance has created one of the thinnest, most flexible vests available.

"We are very excited to partner with DuPont and W.L. Gore & Associates to usher in the next generation of Second Chance body armor," stated Tim O'Brien, Category Director for the Second Chance brand. "By working with these suppliers, we were able to utilize the latest materials to create a line of vests with more stopping power against special threats. The Summit ST offers excellent fragmentation defense and blunt-trauma reduction with wearer comfort in mind."

The Summit ST line features an advanced, thin and flexible all Kevlar® hybrid design providing unmatched ballistic protection. This patented, unidirectional Kevlar aramid fiber provides increased protection against special threats and backface deformation. Additionally, the Summit ST features a GORE-TEX® breathable and anti-bacterial panel covering to help prevent germs and odor from accumulating. This panel also helps to reduce heat build-up which keeps the officer cooler and ultimately more comfortable.

The Summit ST female ballistic package offers outstanding protection and introduces a design that contours to the female form for a level of comfort unique to each body. All Second Chance concealable armor models are certified using NIJ approved size templates C1 and C5, which offer law enforcement officers the widest range of production sizes available.

The Summit ST family of body armor is available in a type II and type IIIA threat level in the standard model and the type II threat level in the female-structured model. The female-structured model in type IIIA threat level will be released later this year.

In addition to the Second Chance Summit ST family of body armor, Second Chance offers a comprehensive list of other NIJ-06 concealable and tactical products, which are available and posted to the NIJ Compliant Products List (CPL) at http://www.justnet.org/Pages/06_CPL.aspx.
