Army Body Armour

Army Body Armour covers torso protection built around removable soft armour panels or hard plates carried in a fabric carrier, with adjustment at the shoulders and sides and options for groin, neck, shoulder and side protection.

The protection level the armour is certified to decides everything else about it, because weight follows directly from the level and weight is what determines whether the armour is still being worn properly at the end of a long patrol. Soft armour handles handgun threats at modest weight; rifle threats require hard plates and a considerably heavier assembly. Sizing and adjustment range are part of the specification rather than a detail, since armour that does not fit covers the wrong area of the torso.

Body armour is procured through formal tendering by defence ministries and procurement directorates, police and paramilitary services, prison and correctional services, border and customs agencies, close protection and VIP security units, and security sector programmes financed by bilateral and international funds. We quote against the stated standard and provide protection level and test documentation where applicable, panel and carrier specifications, size schedules, make and origin declarations, shelf life and warranty terms, end-user documentation where required and third-party pre-shipment inspection.

Send us the protection standard your procurement specifies, your size distribution and your quantity, and we will prepare an offer.
