What’s in Stock, and Why That Matters More Than Ever
From global uncertainty to local preparedness, one thing remains constant: when you need body armor, you need it now. Not two weeks from now. Not next quarter. Right now.
That’s why inventory availability and fast shipping are more than just conveniences—they’re critical advantages. At Guard Dog Body Armor, we’ve made it a priority to keep best-selling armor and accessories in stock and ready to ship. Because in today’s world, the difference between “in hand” and “on backorder” could mean the difference between safety and vulnerability.
Why Inventory Matters More in 2025
Whether you’re an individual buyer or equipping a team, the environment around gear acquisition is changing:
- Election-year or Post-Election uncertainty tends to drive last-minute purchasing spikes among both civilians and agencies.
- Natural disasters (especially during hurricane and wildfire seasons) increase the demand for emergency response gear.
- Global conflict continues to strain raw material sourcing and production timelines across defense-related industries.
According to a 2024 report from McKinsey & Company, companies that proactively manage their supply chains and avoid stockouts are 25% more likely to outperform competitors in customer satisfaction and long-term growth.
Simply put: if it’s not on the shelf today, you could be waiting weeks—or longer.
