RMA (which stands for the company founder’s daughters Renee, Meghan, and Alexis) was founded by Blake Waldrop, a US Marine (2001-2005) and a sworn police officer (2007-2013). Blake knows what it’s like to wear body armor and put your life into a product’s hands and it’s his mission to design and produce the highest quality armor at the most affordable prices.
Here at RMA, we did something unique; took the concept of a body armor plate and made changes to every detailed part. We changed materials, adhesives, ceramics, and more. Every part – down to the thread – was analyzed and made better through science and chemistry. The end result? A record-breaking ballistic plate that outperforms every competitor in the industry. Why go to great lengths to make such a product that’s costly, and labor-intensive? Because it’s our passion to make a product you can truly put your life behind.
When shopping for body armor, it’s important to educate yourself on the pros and cons of different body armor materials and plate carrier options. At RMA Armament, we want you to get the best armor and tactical gear that fits your task and purpose. There are many facets to the subject of body armor – and buying it is the first step to having the right level of protection for you. Questions like, “Is body armor multi-hit rated,” or “How do I properly size body armor” come up often and we’re here to provide you with all the answers to your armor plate questions.
Body armor and body armor plates are protective pieces of wearable equipment designed to defeat handgun and rifle rounds. While tactical body armor is mainly thought of as body armor plates or bulletproof vests, it also covers a wide range of safety equipment that can cover many different parts of the body for additional protection.
Female body armor from RMA Armament is the first rifle rated body armor available for law enforcement, military and home defense, specifically built for the female anatomy. RMA Armament currently manufactures level 4 female body armor with future developments for ultra lightweight Special Rifle threat armor.
Level 4 female armor are available individually – a 9”x11” proprietary female curve front plate and single curve back plate.
Ballistic helmets are one of the most important tools for personal ballistic protection. Also known as tactical helmets, they are designed to provide head protection against bullets, shrapnel and other potential blunt force trauma that an operator may encounter.
Whether you’re in the military or law enforcement and looking for ballistic helmet protection, identifying your needs and assessing advantages and trade-offs are vitally important when making an informed decision. Much like hard armor plates, one must assess the importance between maximizing ballistic protection and minimizing weight with your tactical ballistic helmet purchase. Typically, the more lightweight a helmet is, the more expensive it will be. While RMA Armament does not yet manufacture its own ballistic helmets, we do supply protection from the leader in American Made helmets – Avon Protection. When you buy a ballistic helmet, it’s important to know whether you’re purchasing something American-made for duty use, or whether it’s an overseas knockoff. And when it comes to protecting your own head, settle for nothing less than the best ballistic helmet.
What good are body armor plates if you can’t actually wear them? Fortunately, RMA Armament has a wide variety of tactical plate carriers to suit your needs, whether it’s a plate carrier vest to be worn over the top of duty gear, or a covert plate carrier vest for concealment.
Plate carriers and tactical vests hold a variety of ceramic and composite armor, lightweight polyethylene armor (UHWPE) or steel armor plates. Simply put, you can’t properly utilize body armor without the plate carrier. RMA has the best plate carriers on the market available to you. Tactical plate carriers are most one of the most popular styles of plate carriers on the market because they can serve a variety of operations – Law Enforcement, Military, Private Security and more.
Most tactical plate carriers fit 10×12 single curve plates and may be sized from medium to XXL based on adjustments made to the cummerbund and shoulder straps.
Tactical plate carriers are made from high quality cordura fabrics that are rugged and durable. Typically, these plate carriers have MOLLE or Laser-cut webbing attached to the front, back and cummerbund, which allows the user to attach a personal configuration of mag pouches, IFAKs, comms, etc.
