Guardian Defense Shield – GDS
The Guardian Defense Shield (GDS) is an ultra-lite ambidextrous design that allows its operator to effectively deploy both a handgun and/or long gun with little or no reduction in effective tactical speed.
When deployed properly, its unique design provides substantial frontal facial, throat, upper chest, and arm protection. It is light enough to capitalize on your autonomic startle-flinch response for protection. Provides self-defense from animal, blunt force, edged and ballistic attacks.

WARNING/DISCLAIMER: WarBird body armor is designed to save lives by stopping projectiles it is rated to stop, while mitigating blunt force trauma. However, this does not eliminate the risk of serious bodily injury. The subject in this demonstration utilizes a book underneath the vest to disperse the energy from the impact. He is a trained professional. Do not try this at home.
#1 reason armor fails: It fails to be worn.
Through decades of experience, thousands of individuals measured, and countless hours of wearing armor in virtually every imaginable condition, WarBird developed its CORE Pattern System to maximize your armor’s coverage and comfort.
The effectiveness of body armor is equal to its ballistic protection, times the area of coverage, times the time it is worn.
