Best in the Industry
RMA Armament Inc. has created a new style of body armor plate that no other manufacturer can
replicate. This state-of-the-art advanced body armor made to withstand multiple rounds is a result
of the advanced technology and dedicated research by RMA. Unmatched for its sheer strength, this
armor is made to defeat higher caliber munitions other armor can’t. Lighter than industry standard,
and reasonably priced, RMA’s body armor is the right choice for protection against threats. Made
in the US and headquartered on the Rock Island Arsenal, RMA is dedicated to delivering the best
product in the industry.

CEO
Protect Your Greatest Asset
Dedicated to protect
RMA Armament Inc. was founded by former
US Marine and police officer Blake Waldrop in
October of 2011. After the tragic loss of a fellow
Marine friend in 2005, Mr. Waldrop witnessed the
need for reliable life-saving body armor. When
his military service ended, he graduated from the
Wyoming Law Enforcement Academy and was
a police officer until 2013. Today, his passion
for law enforcement and the military continues
with his dedication to protect those in uniform.

Test Samples
“... I normally do not leave reviews, but I was so impressed with the
performance of your Level IV against high munitions. I had to say great
job. I fixated your Level IV plate against two fence posts, and hit it once
with a .338 dead center. Your plate stopped it. I’ve tested other plates and
had many failures. Keep producing this, and I’ll forever be a customer.”

Mag
Pouches
(Model #MAG)
Special Forces Edition Reflex Mag Pouch - Introduces new features
based off input from the Special Forces community, who have a wider
range of missions and additional requirements.
New Feature 1
Depending on the mission,
environment and role, an
Operator’s tactical load out
will change. The variant of
the Reflex Mag Pouch can
be adjusted from a doublestack to single-stack to a
low-profile configuration. This saves you from having to remove and swap
out pouches. When configured as a:
1) Double-stack pouch - cycles the rear magazine forward, easy re-insert
capability, height differentiates the magazines, and retention system helps
hold a single mag in during dynamic movements.
2) Single-stack pouch - for a lower silhouette while keeping the retention
system, easy re-insert capability, and provides a spacer so that magazines
easily clear pouches and gear mounted above it.
New Feature 2
The size of the pouch can be adjusted to customize the fit for
different magazines. This also allows the Operator to change the
amount of retention and the ease in which magazines are cycled
to their preferences.
**The Reflex Mag Pouch will not work with any magazine that has a
large ridge that runs around the magazine (e.g. Lancer magazines).
New Feature 3
Removable flap that falls in front of the pouch when opened.
New Feature 4
Open design for quick water drainage during water-borne
operations
New Feature 5
In addition to the standard NIR (Near-Infrared) reduction, the Mk2
also has a FR (Fire Resistant) coating
Colors Available: Coyote Brown, Ranger Green, Black, Multi-Cam
Model # MAG
3) Low-profile - remove the cycling/retention mechanism for this lowest
silhouette, for operations in extremely tight confines.
