IT'S ALIVE! ICON IS OUT IN THE WILD
Almost two months ago, we pulled the sheet off our newest creation on the NTOA show floor. Since then, ICON has escaped the lab, and people love it. Operators have tried it on, scaled it up, broken it down, and put it through its paces, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Several agencies have already put ICON through T&E and are moving forward with purchase.
For everyone who missed the launch (and everyone who keeps asking), here's a second look at what's under the hood. Don't worry, it doesn't bite.
|
PLATFORM SPOTLIGHT: ICON
It transforms. No full moon needed.
Patrol Monday. Warrant Wednesday. Task force Friday. Instead of a closet full of different armor (scarier than anything you'll see on Halloween), the ICON Multi-Mission Vest shape-shifts to handle all your ops.
|
Concealed to Full Entry
Internal carrier for Class A. Rifle plates and accessory ballistics for entry.
|
|
Our Most Adaptable Fit
288 sizes. The widest range of any PROJECT 7 tactical vest.
|
| |
|
Adjustable Shoulders
Removable internal yoke adjusts for layers, seasonal gear, and changes in fit.
|
|
P7 STIK™ Rifle Retention
Rigid, removable Kydex keeps the rifle stable and low-profile against the platform.
|
| |
Why it matters: Fewer platforms to buy, issue, stock, and train on, without settling for armor that only does one job well.
Ballistic armor is available to verified sworn law enforcement and military personnel only. Agency purchases through AARDVARK.

How To: Take P7 Armor for a Test Drive (No Tricks)
Nobody buys a haunted house without walking through it first. Spec sheets don't stop anything. Your team should know exactly how armor fits, moves, and performs before you ever commit to it. Here's how a P7 test & evaluation works.
1. Make the Request
- Use the button below or the Contact Us page on our site to submit your request.
2. Get Approved
- Every T&E request goes through an approval process.
- We may ask for more info on your request, including potential purchase quantities and agency verification.
3. Run It Hard
- Once approved, we'll send a standard-sized platform plus any accessories we've agreed on.
- You get one full week to put it through your training, your movements, and your mission sets.
4. Report Back
- Send everything back using the included shipping label.
- Tell us what worked and what didn't. From there, we'll move forward with your quote or purchase, or recommend a platform that's a better fit.
Your feedback doesn't just decide your next armor buy. It's how P7 builds the next platform.

FEATURED PRODUCT: ILB-SC SCABBARD PACK
Trick or breach.
|
Some doors don't open for trick-or-treaters. Breaching tools are heavy, awkward, and long. Strap them to a traditional zip-on pack and you get sag, shift, and noise right when you need to move quietly.
The ILB-SC Scabbard Pack is built around a rigid internal frame that holds its shape under load and stays tight to the armor. Add the optional scabbard insert and bolt cutters, a breaching tool, or a breaching shotgun ride secure without blocking access to the main pack.
|
Optional Scabbard Inserts – Bolt cutter or breaching tool inserts, sold separately or together.
13" x 9" Main Compartment – Fits night vision, smaller breaching tools, or up to a 100 oz hydration system.
Two Padded External Pockets – Elastic retention for flashbangs, less-lethal, and medical, plus a zippered admin pocket.
Side Webless MOLLE – 1x6 surfaces for breaching poles, cameras, and other long gear.
|
Why it matters: The tools that open the door shouldn't slow down the team going through it.
Black, Multicam, or OD; Squadron and 500D Cordura®; 10.5"W x 13"H x 5"D (18"H with insert); BVA hanger compatible; $295, inserts +$85 each.

DETAILS MATTER: Protect Your Bones
Your ribs called. They want plates too.
"Details matter" isn't just a motto. It's how we build every piece of P7 gear, and it's the whole reason the 3PC-HA Cummerbund exists.
Front and back plates get all the attention, but the sides are where a lot of armor leaves you exposed. The usual fix is bolting side plate pouches onto the outside of the cummerbund: more bulk, more snag points, and one more thing shifting around when you move. We didn't think that was good enough.
So we built the protection into the cummerbund itself. The 3PC-HA adds a 6x6 hard armor plate pocket on each side, available with or without soft armor ballistics. It keeps the same quick-adjust 3-piece fit and the Adaptive Pouch System inside that we showed you last month. It's available on ICON, TRV, and other P7 platforms.
We could have stopped at a cummerbund that just closes the sides. We didn't, because the details are where protection is won or lost.
