X Series Lightweight Boltless Ballistic Shield Line

Feb. 19, 2018

PROTECH Tactical®, a brand of  The Safariland Group, debuted their X Series line of ballistic shields at the 2018 SHOT Show. The X Series boltless shield line is the first of its kind to feature a molded ballistic lens cap integrated into the ballistics of the shield, creating a stronger product that is both lightweight and extremely durable.

Setting a new industry standard for boltless, type IIIA ballistic shields, the PROTECH Tactical X Series features a patent-pending process which molds the lens cap into the ballistic composition of the shield at the time of pressing, resulting in a lens cap design of the same ballistic material as the rest of the shield. The X Series streamlines the traditional ballistic shield with a design that eliminates points of weakness – the point of drill holes and seam lines where the shield and components meet. The seamless molded lens cap in this boltless design ensures ballistic integrity, and it reduces overall shield weight by approximately 20 percent.

The X Series includes the following models:

Mighty Mite X: 18” x 30”, 11lbs./4.9kg
Defender X: 20” x 34” 13lbs./5.8kg
Entry I X: 24” x 36” 18lbs./8.1kg
Entry I FR X: 24” x 36” 12lbs./5.4kg
Entry II X: 24” x 48” 21lbs./9.5kg

Constructed of durable polyethylene, all X Series shields are available with either a horizontal or 3-position handle, and accept the FoxFury® Taker B50™ LED light system (available as an optional purchase).

The PROTECH Tactical X Series lightweight ballistic shields are available in black and range from an MSRP of $2,400 to $3,425.
