Rise Tactical Carrier Earns NTOA Approval with High Marks for Performance and Reliability

Rated 4.69 overall, the carrier joins the NTOA’s Member Tested and Recommended list for elite tactical gear

FORT COLLINS, CO, UNITED STATES, July 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Angel Armor announced that its RISE Tactical Carrier, equipped with Ultra Premium Level IIIA Armor Packages and Truth SNAP 308 Ultra + 855 Rifle Plates, has officially received the “Member Tested and Recommended” designation from the National Tactical Officers Association. After rigorous field evaluation by active law enforcement professionals, the carrier earned an overall score of 4.69 out of 5, reflecting high reliability and real-world effectiveness.

“I wore the vest during patrol shifts to assess comfort over long hours. I typically dislike wearing outer vests on patrol due to discomfort, but this carrier distributed the weight evenly, making it comfortable to wear for 12-hour shifts, even with four rifle plates.”

This recognition places the RISE Tactical Carrier among the top-rated solutions for law enforcement officers, as listed in the NTOA’s online Member Tested and Recommended database. The gear is also slated for upcoming coverage in The Tactical Edge Journal and the NTOA’s monthly eNewsletter.

The high rating underscores Angel Amor’s commitment to delivering innovative, field-tested protective solutions for officers in dynamic environments.
