StressVest™ is the world’s first non projectile, force on force, firearms tactical training system capable of creating stress without fear of projectile injury for training Law Enforcement Officers and Military Soldiers. The system utilizes training firearms that fire a laser pulse which activates the StressVest™ when it strikes center mass. Depending on the setting, the vest will either deliver a vibration or a safe, localized shock to the abdomen.
- The StressVest™:
- Allows officers to train under a state of acute stress creating schemas that will dramatically increase their ability to survive a deadly force encounter with a firearm.
- Sets up in seconds, maximizing training time and allowing you to train anywhere, anytime.
- Train the way you fight. Does NOT require any special safety equipment, saving you time and money. Most importantly creating more realistic training by allowing you to see facial cues and hear auditory sounds clearly.
- Operates through most color clothing, allowing the StressVest™ to be completely concealed.
- Trainings lasers can be fired through windows/windshields and offer a perfect ballistic match to issued ammunition for accuracy/distance.
- No projectiles = greater safety, less cost, no clean up, no need for special training facility.
- Patent pending software offers training modes never before seen in RBT dynamic scenarios.
- Only registers center mass hits ensuring transference on how students are trained to shoot on the range vs shooting in force on force training.

StressVest™ Vest Specifications
Electrical / Safety Specifications

Features:
1 - Vest Panels
Rugged and flexible solar cell panels reward students for hitting in the upper torso region. The same targeting location they are taught to hit on the range. The cells are protected by a polymer cover and military grade mesh fabric and can easily be removed for washing/sanitizing purposes.
This video demonstrates the vest panels' durability.
2 - Shock / Vibrator
Depending on the setting, the StressVest system will deliver a vibration for role players or a shock for students. The shock is adjustable to ensure the appropriate pain penalty for the level of the student.
3 - Controller
The patent pending software based Controller is the brains of the StressVest system. All controls are clear and accessible, allowing Instructors to easily set the StressVest to the desired setting. The digital display allows Instructors to quickly set modes and read the number of hits to specific panels of the StressVest. The shock adjustment dial allows the pain penalty to be quickly adjusted for the skill level of the student. The shock/vibrate switch includes a warning light that illuminates when the StressVest is set to stun.
Advanced Training Modes
The Controller allows for 12 different variations of the following modes.
- Role Player Modes
As you do not want your role players experiencing pain, the Shocker/Vibrator will vibrate when the StressVest™ is activated alerting the Role Player they have been hit center mass. - Stress Exposure Modes
Instructor sets the level of shock from Low, Medium, High or Extreme depending on the experience/skill of the student - Move to Cover Modes
Pain penalty increases with each subsequent hit encouraging students to move to cover.
This video demonstrates the Move to Cover Mode in action. - Injured Officer Modes
Once the StressVest™ is activated, the shock will continue to fire randomly for a set time period simulating an injured officer. The student must complete the training objective, while under the stress of the pain stimulus.
This video demonstrates the Injured Officer Mode in action.

4 - Adjustable Shoulder and Waist Straps
Adjustable Military grade strapping allows the StressVest to be adjusted for every size of student. The adjustability also allows it to fit overtop of ballistic vest systems so the student can train in the same equipment they wear during real deployments.
