High Gear Suits and Apparel

DXI is an authorized reseller for Blauer Tactical System's HIGH GEAR® Impact Reduction Suits.   

If your scenario gear is too bulky, it eliminates the ‘fear’ of impact. You need this to really develop the proper mindset. If your gear is too thick, it offers too much protection and you know that the gear will protect you.  Again, this changes how you think and move. My thought process is that to learn to protect yourself, you must respect the danger. You will not be wearing a padded suit in a real confrontation! With this in mind, I spent 5-years (yes 5!) designing this suit. I tested various foams and plastics until I found the right styles, thickness, and configuration so that the gear transferred impact but also dispersed it. The result was a suit that let you know when you screwed up!

Why agencies choose High Gear over RedMan

  • Greater mobility & realism: The athletic, low-profile build keeps movement natural and opponent size realistic—ideal for scenario fidelity and skill transfer. 
  • Integrated vision system: Built-in, anti-fog, face shield reduces fiddling with separate goggles and keeps training blades and other objects from entering the mask. 
  • Modern impact tech with “safe feedback”: Designed to dissipate force while still letting trainees feel enough contact to make decisions under stress (biofeedback). 
  • Streamlined kit management: Fewer pieces (8 vs. 13) means quicker don/doff, simpler inventory, and less to lose. 
  • Versatility across training types: Performs in DT, CQB, weapon retention, and grappling/MMA without excessive bulk.
