Bridging the Protection Gap
Snakebites are a neglected tropical health crisis. According to the World Health Organization, snakebites injure 5.4 million people annually, leading to over 100,000 deaths and 2.7 million cases of permanent disability. Low-income agricultural workers in developing nations suffer the brunt of this burden, losing an estimated $2.8 million in yearly livelihoods.
Existing protective boots and chaps cost upwards of $100—equivalent to several months' income—and are too heavy and hot for tropical climates. Aegis Armor was founded to resolve this crisis with a practical, breathable, and highly affordable solution.

Empowering Communities Locally
We source our materials and assemble our devices near the point of deployment. By partnering with automotive manufacturers to reclaim seat leather scrap, we preserve natural resources while reducing manufacturing costs.
Our manufacturing centers employ local workers, particularly women from underrepresented areas, providing skills, dignified employment, and fostering local economic resilience.
Global Footprint
Aegis Armor serves agricultural communities across developing regions where snakebites pose a daily threat:
- India: Rural agricultural villages
- Vietnam: Rice paddy farming regions
