The Vision

For over a decade Haley Strategic Partners has been providing world class training in the fundamentals and advanced applications of weapons and tactics with our D5, D3, and D7 courses. Inside of this ten year period we have also produced globally recognized products such as the Disruptive Environments Chest Rigs and FLATPACK line. Our training and products are a direct reflection of what drives us as an organization and what our vision of the future looks like. THORAX is the culmination of these 10 years of operational experience, training, product development, and most importantly being a “Thinker Before Shooter”. It represents our vision of the future and the most adaptive plate carrier system available today.

The Why

THORAX has been through many revisions in it’s life. Beginning as a modular plate bag for chest rigs to evolving into a fully fledged plate carrier system. Just like the Dragonfly of our logo, THORAX is designed to be adaptable for any mission requirements. We understand the importance of adaptability from an operational view. The force multiplier and lethality it brings is why we designed our plate carrier to have such features. THORAX seamlessly interfaces with our existing products and those currently in development. It’s construction incorporates advanced materials to maintain the highest level of mobility and protection for the user with minimal weight and profile. In essence THORAX is a reflection of our vision and the answer to the most important three letter word. Why?
