The New Standard

Protection comes in all shapes and sizes

Stab Protection

 

Next level protection. APIS is designed to stop bladed impacts from knife or spike. where the standards allow for up to 30mm of blade penetration vikela has 0mm. we believe in only producing armour of the highest standard which is why we always push to do better

Better for women

 

With a flexible structure we better fit women. many industries have struggled with creating equipment that fits women. women are not small men as it often seems is the thought. our flexible design allows the armour to conform to your shape and needs

Flexibility

 

Easier to move all day. our armour is designed to flex with your body and move how you move. back pain from body armour is a real concern. we want to make wearing your protection as comfortable as possible all day.

Recyclability

 

Improving product lifecycle not just the product. vikela aims to recycle 100% of its armour plates in house and reprint new plates with the recycled material. by taking ownership of product disposal we free our customers and allow everyone to inprove their impact on the environment which helps us all. 

THE NEW STANDARD

The worlds first 3D printed armour.
Created with patented materials and processes APIS is unlike anything else. We believe in giving everyone the protection they deserve to make it home safe.
