Our PGD soft armor is designed with both functionality and comfort in mind. One of the most notable features is its incredibly slim profile. This slimness helps to keep the overall weight down, making it more manageable for the wearer, especially during long periods of use. This reduced weight not only minimizes strain on the wearer but also enhances mobility, allowing for a more comfortable and effective performance in demanding situations.
Close-fitting design
Another key advantage is that our PGD soft armor is ergonomically designed to follow the natural contours of the body. This ensures that it fits snugly and comfortably against the torso, so much so that the wearer hardly notices it’s there. The close-fitting design prevents any awkward bulk or shifting of the vest during movement, contributing to a more seamless experience. Whether standing, running, or crouching, the soft armor moves with the body, providing protection without impeding performance.
NIJ level IIIA
Our PGD soft armor is not just about comfort and mobility; it also delivers maximum protection. It has been rigorously tested to the highest level of ballistic protection, NIJ level IIIA (3A). This means that it is capable of stopping the latest and most advanced threats from handguns, providing the wearer with peace of mind in dangerous environments. Whether facing standard rounds or more powerful handgun ammunition, this soft armor ensures maximum protection against ballistic threats.

Beyond its ballistic capabilities, our PGD soft armor also offers impressive stab protection. It has been awarded the NIJ 0115.00 S1 rating, indicating that it provides a high level of defense against knife attacks. Specifically, the soft armor can protect against stabs with up to 55 joules of force, making it an excellent choice for situations where both gunfire and bladed weapons are potential threats. This dual protection feature makes the soft armor versatile, capable of withstanding various forms of violence, whether in urban settings or more chaotic environments.

Another notable feature of our PGD soft armor is its resistance to fragmentation, a critical aspect of protection in certain high-risk scenarios. It has been tested under the STANAG 2920 V50 standard, which assesses its ability to protect against high-velocity fragmentation threats, such as those posed by explosives or shrapnel. With a V50 rating of 606 meters per second, our soft armor provides robust defense against these types of dangers, ensuring the wearer is protected not just from bullets and knives, but also from explosive debris.
