This modular ballistic component is designed to protect the hands and forearms. It is a lightweight, flexible, and vital piece of gear that maintains maximum mobility without compromising safety.
I. Protection Characteristics and Standards
The ballistic insert meets Protection Class 2 standards according to DSTU 8782:2018.
Ballistic Protection: Reliably protects against rounds in the following calibers: 9x18mm (Makarov), 9x19mm (Luger/Parabellum), and 7.62x25mm PST (57-N-134s), known as Tokarev.
Fragmentation Protection: Effectively withstands fragments, blast waves, as well as concrete debris, glass shards, and ricochets at velocities up to 650 m/s.
II. Design, Materials, and Comfort
The protective unit is crafted from high-quality materials that ensure both reliable protection and a high level of comfort:
Insert Material: UHMWPE (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene). Comprising 35 layers of material, the insert effectively absorbs impact energy and reduces the risk of blunt force trauma (back-face deformation injuries).
Cover: Made of Cordura 500D with an anti-infrared (NIR) coating.
Comfort: The inner side of the cover features 3D mesh for maximum comfort, ventilation, and heat dissipation.
