With the bad body armor, are you thinking of the "Second Chance" corporation? They are well known in the body armor trade, especially with police. A while back they made an upgrade pack to increase protection using a substance called Zylon. The shock plate increased the protection, but in some cases still allowed unacceptable damage to the wearer.
