AirLite™ from Crye Precision
AirLite™ is a material system we developed with one goal in mind: reduced weight. Much of the weight of a traditional armor system isn't in the armor. The carrier itself accounts for a significant portion of the overall weight of a traditional vest. By combining the base fabric and a modular attachment system into a single ultra-minimal material, AirLite™ can cut nearly 40% of the weight of the non-armor portions of an item. Made of a custom composite material that is engineered to be exceptionally light, strong, and durable, AirLite™ is the original, often-imitated solution for extreme light weight gear. Ideal for applications where reduced weight is the priority. Patents pending.
