The USA Made D-Flex™ Riot Control Kit from Damascus Gear is designed specifically for law enforcement officers, corrections teams, and tactical units facing high-risk crowd control or riot situations. Proudly manufactured in the United States, this riot control gear balances lightweight mobility with heavy-duty blunt force protection.
Unlike ballistic armor, this system is purpose-built to shield officers from impacts, projectiles, and close-contact strikes, making it an essential part of any police riot kit.
