Overview
These Ballistic Vests are made from Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene and weigh approximately 2.5kg or only 5.5 lbs. The UHMWPE fiber is a type of polyolefin fiber. The fibers are made up of extremely long chains of polyethylene, which are aligned in the same direction. Each chain is bonded to the other with many van der Waals bonds. This provides superior physical properties attractive for a number of military and industrial applications. The Protection level on these helmets is NIJ 0106.01 IIIA. Level IIIA armor has been tested to stop 9mm FMJ and .44 Magnum rounds from longer barrel handguns (no rifle ammunition protection). There is also a pocket in the front and back that will fit our level IV SA Plate PP-HA-1660-01.
