Leatherback Gear

What’s is Leatherback Gear? Leatherback Gear™ was invented and designed by two brothers who are first responders with real experience responding to & preventing active shooter and terrorist-related incidents. We create products and technologies with the concepts of safety and protection at the forefront of everything we do. Our Mission Our mission is to empower you to keep you and your loved ones safe. At Leatherback Gear™ we believe that when you are equipped with the proper tools and education, you become your first and best line of defense in any situation. Shouldn’t we wait for the police? Absolutely let the professionals handle the situation…if they are there. But by their nature law enforcement and first responder personnel are reactive to threats. They only respond when the call comes out; how far away they are or how long it takes for them to arrive is situational dependent. This creates a gap between when the situation occurs and how long before law enforcement will be there. On average it runs 2 to 4 minutes before they arrive…that’s a long time when bullets are flying…trust us; we’ve been there. What can I do? Everyday citizens can be proactive and reactive to assist in preventing an active shooter threat before it occurs as well as saving lives during the crisis. Being engaged with friends, family and co-workers, recognizing the signs of distress and intervening will have a profound impact on this epidemic. The Department of Homeland Security uses and supports the phrase, “If You See Something, Say Something.” In other words, be a good a witness but in our mind, please do it with protection on. At Leatherback Gear™ your safety and protection is our mission. Used correctly we know our products will increase your odds of survival during an active shooting threat. Now you can Run, Hide or Fight, with protection anytime, anywhere!
