PATROL BODY ARMOUR

Our core business area is the supply of tailor-made body armour designs for police patrol operations. Currently GAH supplies 25 UK police forces with their patrol body armour requirements and has an extensive range of designs and options available.

Body armour solutions can be provided in waistcoat or tabard styles utilising a broad range of materials, fastenings, adjustment and pocket configurations. A common feature of all our patrol designs is an innovative lumbar support to reduce stress on the lower back. This feature was developed and pioneered in the early 1990's and has been endorsed by an experienced chiropractor.

Recent demand from other sectors such as private security, ambulance trusts and fire services has lead to GAH introducing new concepts in this field.
