BULLETPROOF VEST
Design Features:
The tabard style vest has been developed for waterborne operations. A built in floatation device is protected by soft armour panels in the front, back, and shoulders ( detachable neck, groin, and deltoid panels are optional) .
The armour panels are placed in front of the floatation device so that it can inflate after sustaining a direct hit from gun fire or IED fragments.
A matrix of 25 mm webbing allows the fitting of MOLLE accessory pockets.The design allows for interchange ability and upgrading of Armour protection levels according to customer requirements.
Velcro adjustment on sides allows variation of 10cm in waist circumference.
Flexibility and low weight enables the jacket to be worn comfortably for long periods of duty with minimal effect on wearer manoeuvrability.
An integrated cummerbund places the carrying load on the hips instead of the shoulders which greatly improves the ergonomic characteristics of the Vest.
Outer Garment
The garment is made with a combination of high quality 500D Nylon Cordura fabric and Poly Mesh fabric. This produces an extremely durable yet lightweight garment that endures the harsh ocean environment and prevents water retention.
High quality fittings such as; YKK zippers, Velcro fasteners, polyester filament webbing, and stainless steel adjusters are employed to guarantee reliability and longevity.
Floatation Rescue
The inflatable floatation device provides 275 Neutons of buoyancy and will automatically right an unconscious person.
Either manual or automatic activation systems are available depending upon the customers preference.
Attached to the Vest is a rescue kit comprised of; whistle, wateractivated light, and signalling mirror.
Extraction from water is facilitated by a drag handle across the shoulder blades. The handle forms part of an integrated body harness which securely wraps around the waist, groin, and shoulders.
The inner garment remains close fitting to the body after deployment of the inflation device in order to retain body heat when floating in water.
Armor Panels:
The Panels are made with 100% Polyethylene fibre. When tested in
accordance with NIJ Standard 0101.04 the Armour satisfies level IIIA for
9mm and NIJ level IIIA 9mm and 44 Magnum.
The area density is 5.25 kg/ m2.
The Soft Armour Panels are encapsulated in waterproof and UV
lightproof Nylon fabric that is vacuum-sealed and high frequency
welded.
Hard Armor Plate:
The vest has internal pockets to accommodate front and back Hard
Armour Plates measuring 25 x 30 cm.
The pockets are designed to facilitate single-action, rapid dumping of
the HAPs in case of emergency.
