VELES HV PRO Type A Black Bulletproof vest with soft ballistic protection
VELES HV PRO Body armor is a new model of ready-to-use body armors with soft ballistic protection. Type-A bulletproof vests means soft protective materials, that are flexible and bend in different directions. In bulletproof vests, we usually see soft armor that corresponds to protection against small arms IIA, II and IIIA NIJ 0101.06.
As an armored element in VELES HV PRO, the designers of the VELMET company used UHMWPE - Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Dyneema. This is a modern high-tech material that does not require specific care and maintenance. Thanks to its low-profile design, VELES HV PRO is the best choice when you need to wear concealed body armor.
The form factor of this bulletproof vest provides maximum protection area while maintaining comfort of use. The user of the VELES HV PRO soft ballistic protection vest is protected in accordance with Level IIA NIJ 0101.06. VELES HV PRO is convenient for use in a car, it will protect at shooting ranges, training grounds, and in critical situations in 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 - according to STANAG2920 - 550 m / s.
- 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 maximum protection of the user's body while maintaining comfort.
Developing a new model of body armor using soft ballistic protection, the VELES HV PRO body armor is designed to provide the maximum area of protection for the user. At the same time, the aspect of comfort was important. After all, it is the convenience that guarantees the long-term preservation of the user's combat capability.
It is to increase the comfort of use in the VELES HV PRO version of the body armor that the patented VCAP© ventilation technology of the VELMET company is used. This system allows the area of the body armor to be ventilated effectively. At the same time, the form factor of the pads is designed to "cling" to the anatomical curves of the human body. This ensures both the correct placement of the armor elements on the body and the maximum unloading effect due to the tight fit of the vest.
So, for example, the VELES HV PRO body armor attachment system consists of four elastic cummerbund lines (do not restrict breathing) and reliable shoulder straps from the Hypalon to Velcro. Such a fastening system guarantees reliable and correct placement of the armor panel on the user's body.
Important!!! This type of body armor must be sized correctly. The VELMET company regularly produces the VELES HV PRO 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 made it possible to simultaneously ensure an acceptable level of outrageous damage and guarantee a loyal price. The armor package itself is sealed into 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 shape of the armor panel is based on the results of a study carried out in the USA, where the optimal shape factor of the front and back pads with lateral "ears" was calculated.
Also, the cover of the VELES HV PRO body armor 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 PRO is perfect for police officers and other law enforcement agencies, as well as specialists who regularly patrol.
