The vest is form fitting and low profile, designed to be worn comfortably under a normal shirt the shell is made of a breathable nylon/spandex blend with quick release zipper on the side.
Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene ballistic panels on the front and back provide extreme protection without sacrificing weight, mobility, or comfort.
With it's light weight and ergonomic design you can run, jump, crouch, or fight while wearing this vest and it's breathable design helps you stay cool no matter the climate.
The shell is moisture wicking and quick drying and the UHMWPE panels are both waterproof and buoyant making this an excellent choice for maritime users.
Without included armor plates shell is non armored.
WHAT IS UHMWPE?
Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene also known as UHMWPE, High modulus polyethylene (HMPE), and by the brand names Dyneema and Spectra, is a flexible polyethylene variant with extremely long molecular chains which give the material its trademark strength and toughness.
UHMWPE is lighter than ceramic, steel, and fiberglass armor plates and is non spalling and shatter resistant, a single plate can protect from multiple impacts and it will not rust under any conditions
UHMWPE is also hydrophobic and abrasion resistant with a low friction coefficient and is resistant to many acids and solvents while still retaining its light weight and flexibility.
Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene has a higher impact strength than any other thermoplastic in the world and is the top of the line in flexible body armor
WHAT IS SPALLING?
Spalling (or fragmentation) in ballistic armor is when a round strikes a piece of hard armor and breaks apart sending bullet shards flying in random directions.
Spalling also describes when a piece of armor shatters on impact and pieces of the armor are driven into the wearer's body by the kinetic energy of the bullet.
Due to its extremely long molecular bonds UHMWPE distributes impact forces better than fiberglass, ceramic, or steel and is vastly more resistant to both spalling and shattering when struck by a projectile.
