Rigid ballistic insert supplied in steel ceramic or UHMWPE at 0-25mm thickness
Specifications
Bulletproof Steel Sheet
Bulletproof Vest With Front and Back Plate Pockets
Polyester or nylon carrier with front and back pockets for armor plates
A bulletproof vest is a wearable protective garment made of a fabric cover and a ballistic layer that absorbs the kinetic energy of bullets or shrapnel. It is specified by police supply departments, security service operators and defense distributors who buy body armor in sized batches for issue to personnel. The vest carries a pocket in the front and a pocket in the back for armor plates, so the same carrier can be taken to a higher protection level by changing the insert rather than buying a separate garment for each duty. Cover and size are made to your order, which removes the fitting problem that comes with buying fixed sizes from a catalog.

Why It Is Specified
Key Benefits of Bulletproof Vest
Protection Level Set by the Plate Not the Garment
Two pockets front and back accept armor plates to raise the protection level. One carrier specification can therefore cover several duties in the same order.
Cover Fabric Chosen for the Climate
The cover is made in polyester or nylon. Buyers issuing armor in hot or humid regions can state which of the two they want before production starts.
Single or Composite Ballistic Structure
The ballistic layer can be built as a single material or as a composite of metal, ceramic, aramid and UHMW-PE. That lets the build be matched to the weight and level the end user asks for.
Sizes Made to Your Issue List
Size is customized rather than sold in a fixed range. Procurement teams can submit a size breakdown for the unit being equipped.
Vest and Full Protection Styles
The product is made both as a chest and back vest and as a full protection version. Coverage can be matched to the role instead of forcing one pattern on everyone.
Test Report Supplied With the Order
A test report accompanies the goods so the buyer has documentation of what was supplied for the tender or the internal issue record.
Problems It Solves
What This Material Removes From Your Process
One Vest Per Threat Level Is Expensive
Buying a separate garment for each protection level multiplies the cost of a fleet of armor. A carrier with front and back plate pockets lets the plate set the level while the garment stays the same.
Catalog Sizes That Do Not Fit the Wearer
Fixed sizes leave some personnel in armor that rides too high or restricts movement. Size here is customized, so the order can follow the actual measurement list.
No Documentation for the Tender File
Many tenders require evidence of what was supplied. A test report is issued with the goods so the buyer is not chasing paperwork after delivery.
Mixed Suppliers for Carrier and Plate
Sourcing the carrier and the insert from two vendors creates fit and pocket size problems. Both come from the same supplier here, so the plate is made to the pocket.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Used
Police and Law Enforcement Issue
Standard patrol and tactical issue where the carrier is worn daily and plates are changed according to the assignment.
Private Security and Guarding Contracts
Guarding companies equipping teams for cash in transit, site guarding and escort work under a client specification.
Defense and Government Tenders
Batch supply against a tender that states cover material, size breakdown and the plate level to be carried in the pockets.
Cash Transport and Escort Crews
Crews who need chest and back coverage that can be put on and removed quickly between stops.
Distributors and Tactical Equipment Dealers
Dealers stocking carriers and matching plates as a package for regional resale.
Industrial and Site Security Teams
Mine sites, ports and fuel terminals equipping in house security personnel with a documented protective garment.

Comparison
Bulletproof Vest Against the Alternatives
| Soft armor panel worn on its own | A soft panel is flexible and aimed at handgun threats. This carrier adds front and back pockets so a rigid plate can be inserted when a higher level is required. |
|---|---|
| Fixed level vest with sewn in protection | A sewn in build cannot be upgraded. Here the protection level is changed by changing the plate rather than replacing the whole garment. |
| Standard catalog size carriers | Catalog sizing forces the wearer to the garment. Size is customized here so the order follows the issue list. |
| Full protection bulletproof vest | The full protection version extends coverage beyond the chest and back and is available as an alternative when the role calls for it. |
Use Guide
Specifying Handling and Welding Notes
- State the plate size the pockets must accept before production so the pocket is cut to the insert
- Send a size breakdown by quantity rather than a single size when equipping a unit
- Choose the cover material with the climate in mind and confirm polyester or nylon on the order
- Fit the plate so it covers the vital organs without restricting the wearer arm and torso movement
- Keep the test report with the issue record so the supplied construction stays documented
- Store carriers flat and dry and keep plates in their pockets or in a rack rather than stacked loose
Questions Buyers Ask
Bulletproof Vest FAQ
Does the vest come with armor plates or is it the carrier only?
The vest has a pocket in the front and a pocket in the back for armor plates. Tell us whether you want plates supplied with it and which level, and we will quote the carrier and the insert together.
What is the cover made of?
Cover material is polyester or nylon. State which one you want on the order and it is cut in that fabric.
Can you make the vest to our size list?
Yes. Size is customized, so send the size breakdown with quantities for the unit being equipped.
What materials are used in the ballistic layer?
The layer can use metal, ceramic sheet in boron carbide, silicon carbide or aluminum oxide, aramid fiber and UHMW-PE, built as a single or composite structure.
Is any test documentation supplied?
A test report is supplied with the goods. Ask for it with the quotation if your tender file needs it before shipment.
Can we get a sample before the main order?
Samples are available. Confirm the size, cover material and the plate level you want in the pockets and we will advise what can be released.
What is the difference between a vest and a full protection vest?
The vest covers the chest and back. The full protection version extends coverage further and is chosen when the role requires more than chest and back protection.
