Built fundamentally differently from every traditional knee pad on the market, the Armadillo employs an innovative articulated multi-plate system featuring DualCore hard or soft plate selection within a single modular architecture. This bio-engineered design optimizes kinematic performance through independent plate articulation, enabling superior ergonomic flexion, dynamic anatomical conformity, and exceptional load distribution for all-day wearer comfort and unrestricted natural movement.

The Armadillo Pro series offers two high-performance solutions: the Pro Classic, an ergonomic strapless sleeve system for secure over-trouser wear, and the Pro Pocket, a low-profile insert designed for seamless integration into work trousers with external carrier pockets. Both systems utilize a multi-segmented overlapping polymer plating architecture with the innovative DualCore Plate System, delivering superior articulated mobility, impact energy dispersion, and the flexibility to optimize protection or comfort within the same platform.
Unlike conventional single-piece rigid shells that concentrate and transmit impact forces directly to the knee, the Armadillo system utilizes individually articulated hard shell plates to spread and dissipate energy across multiple segments before reaching the cushioned inner layers. This achieves up to 72% reduction in peak force transmission while preserving natural knee kinematics and full dynamic coverage.
Engineered fundamentally differently from conventional TPR bumpers, the NRG ARMOR BUMPERS integrate proprietary strain-rate sensitive smart polymers with advanced multi-zone geometry in seamless sewn-on architectures. These bio-optimised systems achieve maximum ANSI Level 3 dorsal impact protection through superior energy absorption and dissipation mechanisms, while reducing weight, bulk, and thickness by approximately 50% compared to traditional solutions. The result is exceptional flexural compliance, preserved tactile dexterity, significantly lower hand fatigue, and extended-wear ergonomic comfort without compromising mechanical strength or durability.

These sewn-on solutions deliver superior dorsal impact protection for the back of the hands and are compatible with virtually all safety gloves. Engineered with proprietary smart materials and polymers, they provide high-performance impact energy absorption and dissipation while maintaining exceptional flexibility, dexterity, and extended-wear comfort. Significantly lighter and thinner than conventional TPR — by up to 50% — they substantially reduce hand fatigue without sacrificing strength or durability.
Our proprietary supramolecular elastomers, foams, and advanced polymers deliver superior impact attenuation. Under low strain, they remain soft and flexible with an optimized ergonomic profile. Upon impact, dynamic reversible bonds rapidly associate, inducing instantaneous shear-stiffening. This molecular network dissipates kinetic energy through interchain friction and bond rearrangement, significantly reducing peak force transmitted to the hand. Once the impact subsides, the network relaxes, restoring full flexibility, ergonomic form, and protective capability for repeated impacts.
In a rapidly evolving PPE landscape, the brands destined to lead will be those that place advanced materials and intelligent design at the heart of superior comfort, protection, and performance. While others follow standards, we help define them. Ready to position your brand at the forefront?
