Rothco Antiriot Polycarbonate Shield

$89.99

Rothco has been manufacturing military and law enforcement surplus and gear since 1953 — the antiriot shield is not a prop. At 40" × 20" with 1/8" clear polycarbonate, it delivers full-torso coverage for a 6-pound carry weight, with a cast aluminum handle and web arm strap that allow sustained hold without muscle fatigue. The transparent polycarbonate is critical — you can observe crowd dynamics and officer positioning through the shield, maintaining situational awareness that an opaque defensive piece would eliminate. It's legal civilian defensive equipment that requires no license and provides genuine ballistic-rated impact protection against rubber projectiles and direct baton strikes.
