Body armour

Body armour is a vital piece of equipment in many professional, leisure and sports activities where people are exposed to a high risk of injury.

As the recognised UK-based leader in precision-engineered foam solutions, at Technical Foam Services our profound knowledge and expertise in developing and manufacturing high performance foam solutions is invaluable in the body armour field, where anything less than perfection is not good enough.

Covering every angle

Combining the most advanced foam and rubber materials with our unrivalled technical know-how and engineering expertise, at Technical Foam Services we produce a vast range of bespoke body armour products that are truly second to none, covering every requirement from back, chest, neck and head protection to limb guards and joint protectors.

Developed to fulfil the needs of each specific activity, we use the highest quality Polyethlene foams and PVC nitrile foams to manufacture body armour that provides supreme shock absorption, even on repeated impact, combined with ultimate fit and comfort.

Extreme protection in sport

We develop and produce a vast range of sport-specific body armour solutions, which fundamentally reduce the risk of serious injury.

From protective helmet liners for snowboarders to body armour for contact sports such as hockey and rugby, we develop bespoke solutions to meet the needs of each specific sport, which offer the highest level of protection without impeding movement.

Leisure applications

From horse riding to skateboarding, pushbikes to motorcycles, many people are injured every year as a result of leisure activities. A fall from a motorbike or horse can be fatal, however, effective body armour can significantly reduce the risk of serious injury.

As the leading engineering-biased foam supplier we offer a vast range of solutions to meet the particular needs of each activity, ranging from spine protection for motorbikes to protective vests for equestrians, we can produce body armour solutions to meet your exact specifications in terms of size, impact absorption and shape.

We can also produce body armour in fire retardant and self-extinguishing materials to offer the highest possible level of protection across a plethora of activities.

In the professional sector we supply a wide range of protective solutions for the emergency services and military personnel to provide a superior level of protection from stab wounds and impact injuries.

Manufactured to the highest specifications, these body armour solutions offer durable and consistent protection even after repeated impact.

Unrivalled performance

With decades of experience we have a profound understanding of the characteristics and, importantly, the protective performance levels of each of the body armour rubber and foam grades we supply. In addition, our in-house engineers can develop and build bespoke tooling for prototypes and full-scale manufacturing that meet the exact requirements of each and every application.

We understand the important role that body armour plays and work with our clients to develop custom solutions that offer the highest and most consistent level of protection possible.
