Bulletproof vest with soft ballistic protection VELES HV Type A Black
Body armor VELES HV is a new model of ready-to-use body armor using "Soft Armor" ballistic protection. Armored element is a soft protective material that is flexible in different directions. In bulletproof vests, we usually see Tier IIA, II and IIIA NIJ 0101.06 soft armor against small arms.
As an armored element VELES HV, the designers of the VELMET company used UHMWPE - Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Dyneema. It is a modern high-tech material that does not require specific care and maintenance. With its low profile design, VELES HV is the optimal choice when you need to wear concealable type of body armor.
The form factor of this bulletproof vest provides maximum protection area while maintaining comfort of use. The user of the VELES HV soft ballistic body armor is protected by Level II of NIJ 0101.06. VELES HV is convenient for use in a car, protects at shooting ranges, training grounds, in critical situations and the combat zone.
Ballistic inserts withstand impact:
- Pistol cartridge PM, 9x18 mm, cartridge "57-N-181s" in a steel casing with a steel core, weighing 5.9 g at a speed of 335 ± 10 m / s.
- Pistol cartridge Luger, 9x19 mm, cartridge "FMJ RN SC", all-metal jacket with a soft (lead) core weighing 8 g at a speed of 400 ± 10 m / s.
- Protection V50% - 550 m / s at VST 01.301.003 - 2020 (02) STANAG2920 / AEP-2920.
- Protection area - not less than 28 dm².
In an urbanized conflict, where debris is the main striking element of manpower, this configuration is optimal for the maximum protection of the user's body while maintaining comfort.
Developing a new model of body armor using soft ballistic protection, the VELES HV body armor was designed to guarantee the maximum area of protection for the user. At the same time, the aspect of comfort was important. Ease of use guarantees long-term combat effectiveness of the fighter.
So, for example, the VELES HV body armor fastening system consists of four elastic cummerband slings (do not restrict breathing) and reliable shoulder straps with hipalon on velcro. This fastener system guarantees a secure and correct placement of the armor plate on the user's body.
Important!!! This type of body armor must be sized correctly. The VELMET company regularly produces the VELES HV body armor in sizes S, M, L and XL.
The company used soft armor of medium level of flexibility - the best combination in terms of price / quality. This allowed us to provide simultaneously an acceptable level of beyond-armor defeat and guarantee a loyal price. The armor package itself is sealed in an insulating cover that protects ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene from the effects of an external aggressive environment, which increases the survivability of the material. The results of the US study were taken as the basis for the shape of the armor panels, where the optimal form factor of the front and back pads with side "ears" was calculated. VELES HV bulletproof vest provides protection of 28 dm².
Also, the VELES HV body armor cover has built-in pockets for placing hard armor elements, which, if desired, allows you to increase the protection class of the body armor. Recall that the vest is designed so that when sitting, none of its elements press on the user's legs or groin, and therefore VELES HV is perfect for police officers, security and law enforcement agencies and for personal protection using it as a concealed body armor.
