Aegis Armor delivers affordable, field-tested snakebite protection to the farmers and workers who need it most — serving India, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and beyond.
Every year, snakebites claim hundreds of thousands of lives and livelihoods — almost entirely among agricultural workers in developing nations. Existing protection is expensive, impractical, and simply out of reach. Aegis Armor was founded to change that.
Patent Pending
Inspired by the humble compression sock, Aegis Armor's leg protection redirects snake fangs away from the skin using a lightweight, sustainable wrap. Designed for the field. Built for the people who live in it.
Traditional snakebite protection costs $100 or more. Aegis Armor breaks that barrier entirely.
Independently tested against 15+ snake species with 80+ expert collaborators worldwide.
Made from recycled materials with local labor — reducing cost and environmental footprint simultaneously.
Designed for hot, humid environments where mobility is essential for daily agricultural work.
From rural India to global NGO networks — Aegis Armor is reaching the people who need it most.
From government agencies to international foundations, Aegis Armor's traction is validated by the organizations that matter.
Aegis Armor was selected as one of just 25 ventures worldwide to join the inaugural cohort of the Clinton Global Initiative Fellowship — one of the highest recognitions in social entrepreneurship, awarded for demonstrated humanitarian impact in developing nations.
Aegis Armor's founders didn't just design from a lab. They traveled to rural India to personally distribute, test, and gather feedback from the farmers Aegis Armor is built to protect.
In-person field testing and feedback sessions with agricultural workers in India
