Body Armor by Velmet

Body armor is personal protective equipment designed to reduce the risk of injury from bullets and fragmentation. This category includes tactical body armor, assault body armor, and modular protection systems developed for real operational environments.

Modern body armor is not just a plate carrier but a комплексна system including ballistic soft armor, hard plates, ergonomics, ventilation, and gear integration. That is why choosing the right system requires evaluating both protection level and operational use.

Types of body armor

• Assault body armor - maximum protection for combat operations
• Tactical body armor - versatile solutions
• Plate carriers - lightweight systems for armor plates
• Modular systems - expandable protection

Protection levels

Protection levels are defined by DSTU 8782:2018 or international standards such as NIJ. Different levels are designed for different threats:

• Level 1-2 - handgun and fragmentation
• Level 3-4 - rifle threats
• Level 5-6 - high-threat armor-piercing rounds

For real-world combat conditions, the minimum recommended level is Level 4 protection.

Body armor construction

• Soft armor - UHMWPE or aramid
• Hard plates - ceramic, steel, or hybrid solutions
• Carrier platform - Cordura / Hypalon
• Load distribution system

Hybrid systems (ceramic + UHMWPE) provide the optimal balance between weight, protection, and comfort.

Applications

• military units
• law enforcement
• tactical teams
• security services
