LOF Defence K9 StreetFighter Ballistic K9 Tactical Vest

***Manufactured to Order: 8 - 13 week delivery time

The LOF Defence K9 StreetFighter is a soft body armor protective vest purpose-built for working dogs in law enforcement and military K9 units. The harness shell pairs an Outlast Thermal Management Systems™ inner layer with MILSPEC mesh construction to regulate your dog's body temperature, shed water rapidly, and maintain continuous airflow during prolonged wear. Optional interchangeable ballistic panels — including NIJ 0101.06 GX Ballistic Level 2 and Level 3A soft armor — upgrade the platform to protect major vital organs including the heart and lungs. The complete armored system weighs a maximum of 4.4 lbs at the largest size, with an average of 3.8 lbs based on average working dog weight. Available in ten color and pattern options including Multicam, Multicam Black, Multicam Alpine, Black, Navy Blue, Ranger Green, Wolf Grey, Coyote Brown, OD Green, and Blaze Orange.

Who this is for

  • Law enforcement K9 handlers who need a full-shift wearable vest that protects vital organs without limiting the dog's tracking drive or agility.
  • Military and special forces K9 teams requiring a platform rated for high-angle rappelling, rope work, and water operations with positive buoyancy.
  • Handlers running multi-mission deployments who need to swap ballistic or spike-resistant panels between operations without removing the harness shell.

Ballistic panel options

The StreetFighter ships as a bare harness or with one of two LOF GX Ballistic soft armor configurations. The NIJ 0101.06 GX Ballistic Level 2 and Level 3A panels each slot into a low-profile internal access point at the chest, shoulder, and body positions. Panels are ultrasonically sealed using coated Nylon, making each insert fully waterproof and sealed against foreign debris. The same internal access point also accepts LOF SX Spike/Cut Resistant armor panels rated to NIJ 0115.00 SX2 or SX3, allowing the handler to configure the vest for the specific threat environment of each deployment. Panels remove in seconds for cleaning or panel swaps without tools.

Shell construction and thermal management

The harness shell uses MILSPEC mesh throughout, providing continuous airflow and rapid water shedding during operations. Embedded Outlast Thermal Management Systems™ fabric — a phase-change material technology — actively regulates the K9's body temperature to prevent heat exhaustion during extended wear. Contoured shoulder straps are curved and anchored at a geometry-specific angle so the harness molds to the dog's shoulders and neckline, eliminating pressure points and chafing without restricting movement.

Hardware and attachment points

AustriAlpin™ COBRA® buckles are fitted OEM throughout the vest, providing load-rated quick-release and the structural capacity to deploy the K9 in high-angle situations. Four forged V-rings — located at the front and back — are each rated to 4,000 lbs and prevent carabiner cross-loading, giving the handler positive control during lifts, lowers, or rapid extractions. An adjustable drag handle is secured with steel hardware and reinforced stitching. Four elastic loops and a sewn web platform allow attachment of chem-lights, electronic strobes, or light beacons.

MOLLE coverage and capacity

A reinforced laser-cut PALS system runs along the exterior, accepting standard MOLLE-compatible pouches so the K9 can carry water, medical supplies, leads, or rappelling hardware. Two integrated 4”x7” loop sections on the PALS platform accept hook-and-loop tactical patches for unit identification or custom messaging.

High-angle upgrade — QR K9 Leg Harness

An optional QR K9 Leg Harness upgrade converts the StreetFighter into a full rappelling and rope-work rig. The leg harness is load-rated to 2,000 lbs and uses a single AustriAlpin™ COBRA® buckle for securement. It is thin and flexible enough to stow in a jacket pocket or small pouch when not in use. A forged metal V-ring provides a second rigging point to balance the K9 during lifting or lowering. The design supports single-handed release and adjustment for time-critical deployments.

Sizing and adjustability

The StreetFighter is built for medium and large breeds weighing 40 lbs or more. Every vest is sized using three inputs: breed, body weight, and chest circumference in inches. Specially tailored sizing is available for non-standard builds. A downloadable sizing guide is available on the product page. For department orders, volume procurement, or units requiring custom sizing, contact us directly.

Frequently asked questions

What plate or panel sizes fit in this vest?

The StreetFighter does not use standard human plate sizes. It accepts LOF's proprietary GX Ballistic soft armor panels (NIJ 0101.06 Level 2 or Level 3A) and SX Spike/Cut Resistant panels (NIJ 0115.00 SX2 or SX3) at the chest, shoulder, and body positions. All panels are specific to the StreetFighter platform and sized to the individual vest order.

Does this vest come with ballistic panels included?

No — the base vest ships without armor panels. Two armor configurations are available as add-ons at checkout: NIJ 0101.06 GX Ballistic Level 2 and NIJ 0101.06 GX Ballistic Level 3A. Spike and cut resistant upgrades to NIJ 0115.00 SX2 or SX3 are also available.

What is the difference between the Level 2 and Level 3A ballistic panel options?

Both options use LOF's GX Ballistic soft armor technology tested to NIJ 0101.06 threat parameters. Level 3A provides a higher tier of ballistic protection than Level 2 and is the top soft body armor protection level available for this platform. Both panels are interchangeable within the same harness shell and are fully waterproof due to ultrasonic sealing.

How heavy is the armored vest on my dog?

At the highest soft armor protection level, the armored system weighs a maximum of 4.4 lbs for the largest size. The average across working dog weights is approximately 3.8 lbs. The base harness without armor panels weighs less — contact us if weight-by-configuration detail is needed for procurement documentation.

Is this vest suitable for water operations?

Yes. The harness shell and armor panels are positively buoyant, and each ballistic panel is ultrasonically sealed with coated Nylon making them fully waterproof. The MILSPEC mesh construction sheds water rapidly. The vest is designed for operational use including water environments.

Can this vest be shipped to my state, and are there any legal restrictions?

This product is a K9 (animal) protective vest and does not fall under the US federal body armor statute at 18 U.S.C. § 931, which applies only to human body armor. However, state and local regulations vary. The vest ships from Canada; buyers are responsible for verifying import admissibility and any applicable duty under their jurisdiction. Contact us with jurisdiction-specific questions before ordering.

The Bulletproof Zone Promise

When you buy body armor, you're buying your safety. We don't take that lightly. Here's what every order from Bulletproof Zone includes.

1. Authorized dealer of every brand we carry

Every plate, vest, and carrier we ship comes from the manufacturer directly to our warehouse. We don't sell gray-market product, surplus, or returns. That means factory-fresh stock, the full manufacturer warranty, and real after-sale support — the kind only an authorized dealer can offer.

We maintain authorized-dealer relationships with America's leading body armor brands, including Spartan Armor Systems, AR500 Armor, RMA Defense, Shellback Tactical, Caliber Armor, DFNDR Armor, Protection Group Denmark, BulletSafe, BulletBlocker, and over 40 more.

2. Best price, guaranteed

If you find a lower price at another authorized dealer of the same product within six months of your purchase, we'll refund the difference.

Why the "authorized dealer" requirement? Because gray-market and surplus armor may not be genuine, may have a compromised supply chain, and almost never comes with a manufacturer warranty. We won't price-match against products that may not actually protect you.

3. Free fitment consultation

Body armor only protects you if it fits. Email us a photo and your measurements before you order, and one of our specialists will help you size your carrier and plates correctly — at no charge, no obligation.

4. Trusted by thousands of customers

Bulletproof Zone has been a trusted authorized dealer of America's leading body armor manufacturers for over five years. We have over 4,000 verified Trustpilot reviews from real customers across all 50 states.

Price Match Guarantee — Terms

  • You must have purchased the item from our website before requesting the price match.
  • Discounted items and "free with purchase" items are not eligible.
  • The item must be in stock on the competitor's website at the time of your request.
  • The price match is valid for six months from the date of your purchase.
  • The competitor must be an authorized dealer of the product. Auction sites (eBay, Overstock), discounters, and gray-market resellers do not qualify.
  • The competitor must operate an online store. Brick-and-mortar-only retailers do not qualify.
  • Price match applies to the item price plus shipping. Sales tax is excluded.

To request a price match, email us a link to the product on our site and the same product on the competitor's site within six months of purchase. We'll process the refund.
