Never ZYLON

Lifestream has never used ZYLON in any of its products, and never will. Du Pont style 802 aramid is used exclusively in the combat range.

Materials position

Witnessed testing

All products are available for witnessed testing by clients, to the relevant standard, at a professional controlled facility by prior arrangement. You do not have to take the specification on trust.

By arrangement

Custom design, no design fees

Any product can be custom designed or modified to a client’s specific requirement, at no design cost. Extreme sizing and custom ceramic inserts available on request.

No design fees

Scale, both directions

Production lots from 10 to 50 000 units. Most materials are of local origin or held in stock, enabling quick production and supply of large quantities.

10 – 50 000

Lifestream has never used ZYLON, and never will.

Only the most up to date materials are incorporated into our products, including our aramid component. Du Pont style 802 aramid is used exclusively in the combat range. Every vest is manufactured under strict and uncompromising quality control to N.I.J. 0101.03/04 standards.

Beyond the published range

Lifestream is industry, product and customer agnostic. Military, police and riot control equipment is the speciality, not the ceiling — requirements outside the published range are welcome.
