Blunt
Trauma Plates / Pads
|
Not to be
confused with Rifle Plates, Blunt Trauma Pads are added to thicken
the vest, and help lessen the “blunt trauma”, i.e., bruising
(or a cracked bone). that happens when a bullet is stopped by a vest.
Even though your
vest stops the bullet, it still hits like a sledgehammer – a
Blunt Trauma Pad helps spread out this impact and lessen the severity
of injury to the mid-Chest and the Sternum bone that is so vulnerable
just under the skin.
Tap the middle
of your chest with your knuckles.... and then imagine the impact of
a bullet pushing on the vest! Vests are NIJ certified WITHOUT
a Blunt Trauma Pad and thus it is not strictly necessary, but
we strongly recommend them.
The 5" by 8" rigid
Steel plate (~13 by 20 cm.) and/or the Ballistic Soft Pack slips into
a pocket on the front of the vest.
Steel is
heavier and stiffer but better protection versus knives and fists.
The Ballistic Soft Pack offers more ballistic (bullet) protection,
and is lighter, flexible, and more concealable. (Or you can even double
up Steel and Aramid.)
The rigid Steel
may create a slight flat spot to hurt concealability a little bit,
but the flexible Aramid / KevlarŪ Soft Pack doesn't generally hurt
conceal-ability, as it conforms to the center of the chest.

Rifle
Plates as Trauma Plates

Some vests have
oversize Trauma Plate Pockets to allow smaller Rifle Plates to be used
as Trauma Plates. Our side Rifle Plates selection:
- measure the INSIDE
of your Trauma Plate Pocket to double-check the size needed.

Sweat-Wicking
Undershirts
|
- Looks just like
a cotton T-Shirt, but made out of a special synthetic fiber which
wicks sweat away 3 times faster than cotton.
- Lab-tested to
keep you a little bit cooler, and a LOT drier – sweat evaporates
three times faster than cotton (even faster than polypropylene!) Only
when sweat is wicked away from the inside of your vest does it have
a chance to evaporate and cool you off.
- Keeps your vest's
nylon-covered ballistic panels from feeling so hot and sticky on your
skin
- Saves you from
having to wash your vest carrier as often.
- Get extras,
so you can switch out for laundry.
- No ballistic
protection in the shirt of course - but your vest offers a lot more
ballistic protection when you wear it - rather than not wearing it
in the heat!

Vest-Guard
Cleaning Spray

Finally a quick
and easy way to clean and deodorize Body Armor.... Just spray it on
to eliminate odor - and inhibit the bacteria that cause it.
Tested to be safe
to use on Body Armor, uniforms, hats, shoes, etc., etc. (as well as
your skin and eyes)
A lot easier than
scrubbing and drying hard-to-clean items. Just spray it on and let it
dry.
| 16
oz. bottle is good for over a hundred cleanings. |

Vest Carriers
|
Get an extra,
washable vest outershell carrier, so you can have one on the vest,
and one in the laundry. (Not bulletproof of course!).
Often it is helpful
to have a white carrier for concealable wear (just in case the vest
peeks out of an open collar). And if you could be throwing on a vest,
un-concealed, a dark color is advised for use at night.

Groin Protectors for Concealable Vests
|
Shown outside of
pants for clarity
Normally
Groin Protector are only used on Tactical vests, but for high threat
applications (warrants, executive protection, etc., etc.) you can
add aramid Level III-A
protection in a Cordura® Nylon or Polyester/Cotton shell. Easily
attaches to the bottom belly Velcro on most concealable vests.
Loose-fitting
pants are definitely required to "tuck in" the Groin Protector
and keep it concealed.
