SecureBands Tire Safety Bands:for the RV Market

Bulldog SecureBands Tire Safety Bands:
New to the RV market

Proudly made in the USA / competition product is made in the U.K. / china

New RV Run Flat Tire Insert in production: Due to the increased demand in the RV market for a tire band solution , we are now in the process of developing a new low profile run flat tire insert specifically for the large motor home 22.5" application, this will be a far superior solution than what is currently available .This is in addition to the current 22.5" SecureBand

When a tire deflates, air pressure reaches a low point providing insufficient pressure to hold the tire in the correct position on the wheel. The tire bead can move around freely and drop into the wheel well resulting in loss of traction, braking and mobility. Sudden air loss can cause you to lose control of your vehicle resulting in catastrophic consequences. Enter the Bulldog SecureBand wheel safety system!

Bulldog SecureBand is designed to simply fit over the wheel well to prevent the tire bead from moving into the well.

Bulldog SecureBand helps prevent the tire from coming off the wheel during a blowout or puncture.

Bulldog SecureBand assists the driver in maintaining control of the vehicle as a result of a flat or blowout.

Bulldog SecureBand helps maintain braking and mobility after tire deflation allowing driver to travel to a safe stop.

New Products and Services:

NEW Armored Vehicle Design and Engineering Services: for companies wishing to get into the armored vehicle manufacturing business, we now offer a complete design, engineering, and manufacturing Service, based at our manufacturing facilities. We offer a program that allows your company to send its staff to our location for hands-on training in the art of vehicle armoring. We start with a standard vehicle and take you through all the steps necessary to armor it, from cutting and fitting the opaque armor to installing the Bullet Resistant Glass. We also offer solutions for vehicle engineering, brakes, suspension upgrades, frame modifications, and ballistic designing for custom applications. We can also cut steel armor plate and other composites for most vehicles. We also provide you with a complete installation manual on the installation process as part of our armoring contract. Bulldog Direct has partnered with one of the world’s leading vehicle ballistic engineers who has retired from a special U.S. government agency responsible for the transportation of leading dignitaries.
 We can also offer onsite consultation of his services on an hourly basis. Please contact us for more information.


Ballistic Fabrics:
At last, the general public now has a reliable and knowledgeable source to purchase the same ballistic fabrics that the large bullet resistant vest / body armor manufacturers use. All of our ballistic fabrics are proudly made in the USA. Most, if not all fabric mills only sell in very large quantities, making it impossible for most individuals to make small purchases to experiment or make their own bullet resistant products. These ballistic fabrics can be used to make Bullet Resistant Vests / Body Armor, Bomb Blankets and Vehicle Floor Fragmentation Blankets.


Police Vehicle Armor Kits:
We now offer a new line of  Vehicle Armored Kits for police, law enforcement and government agencies. These kits primarily offer protection for the front doors, as for the most part the front doors are used as ballistic shields in a felony stop or shooting situation.

These door kits provide two levels of protection, the first being handgun protection up to .44 magnum [NIJ Level IIIA] and the second being [NIJ Level III]  protection for most assault rifles.

Our kits consist of light weight armor panels for the doors, Kevlar or Dyneema depending on the protection level required and bullet resistant glass for the doors. The armor panels are cut and ready to install in the lower door, with instructions and all of the adhesives necessary. The bullet resistant glass is a flat insert that is clipped in place behind the OEM side door glass making for easy installation and quick movement from vehicle to vehicle.

We also provide several options to enhance the vehicle protection. Curved bullet resistant vehicle glass for the front doors and windshield, armor panels for the rear partition.

Bullet Resistant- Blast Resistant " Window Film".

Bullet Resistant " Window Film". We are just amazed at the number of Window Film companies that advertise that their thin films are "Bullet Resistant" and or can offer protection from large Bomb Blasts, such as what took place in Oklahoma City a few years back. The truth is, it is impossible for any type of "Window Film" to offer real Ballistic Protection at all. Window film resists forced entry and prolonged attack from hammers, hatchets, baseball bats, sledge hammers pick ax, etc. Window Film works very well for this narrow application. We have to wonder who they can sleep at night after making ridiculous claims.

Bulletproof Glass is a colloquial term for glass that is particularly resistant to being penetrated when struck by bullets. However there is no such thing as "BulletProof". The correct term is "Bullet Resistant". True Bullet Resistant Glass is made by laminating multiple layers of glass bonded together with high adhesion bonding interlayers of polyvinyl butyral, polyurethane or ethylene-vinyl acetate. This process is done under heat and pressure in an autoclave.

Bullet Resistant Glass is then tested to specific ballistic threats as set by the National Institute of Justice [ N.I.J.] and Underwriters Laboratories [ U.L.] threat levels. And are independently tested by a certified ballistic testing lab. The most recognized is H.P. White Laboratories Inc., or University of Dayton Research Institute. We have never seen any Window Film Company produce the required Ballistic Test Reports, which is the norm for all Bullet Resistant Glass Manufacturers. They proclaim to have done numerous "BackYard" tests. Some of these so called testers have made the claim the their films slow down the projectile? what....!! your still dead.........!

Real Bullet Resistant Glass can offer protection from small caliber handguns such as .22, 9mm, .44 magnum up to a .50 caliber armor piercing rifle rounds . The thickness of Bullet Resistant Glass can be from .825" thick to over 5" thick and weigh anywhere from 8.89 lbs per sq. ft. to over 50 lbs per sq. ft. False claims by Window Film manufacturers can get people killed. Check with any Bullet Resistant Glass Manufacturer to independently verify this statement.


With regards to "Blast Mitigation" this is a highly specialized area of protection. U.S. Military and Government Contractors such as Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Pine Bluff Military Arsenal, U.S. Army Aviation & Missile Command, Redstone Arsenal, and Ballelle Memorial Institute are working to design protective systems to counter such threats. Window Film is not a proper solution for such a massive threat.

One company called "Glass Strengthening Systems" has made an absolutely ridiculous claim that they did a "Private Test" using 1400 pounds of explosives, and that their "Film" stopped any penetration at 184 feet. I wonder if they had a failure at 185 feet. First, one must wonder how in the world Glass Strengthening Systems could legally obtain 1400 pounds of explosives, let alone detonate them with out proper sanctioning from ATF. Why was this done as a "Private" un sanctioned test. Professionally speaking any "REAL" tests of this manor would be carried out under very strict protocol, under supervision of the U.S. Government, and independently tested by a certified ballistic testing lab. Where is the test data, and certification ?

Beware of copycat companies.

Beware of copycat companies.

Bulldog Direct Protective Systems Inc. Has been in the business of providing a wide variety Bullet Resistant Products world wide for well over 10 years. As a leading provider of these products and innovative armor systems, we are amazed at just how may companies have copied our business ideas and illegally used our copyrighted text and photos without our permission or knowledge. That should tell just how well we have done if numerous companies feel the need to follow us and not be innovative or creative. We are a trusted manufacturer and have a very large customer base. Every day we see new web sites appearing out of thin air stating that they have been a "Leading Supplier" or "Major manufacturer" for 20 to 30 years. There is even a little one man shop with in a few hours of us that is facing legal action for illegally using our copyrighted text and photos. We thank all of our loyal and trusted customers for their continued support.
