SDS Specialty Defense Systems PASGT Vest

From SDS Website , Soft / Hard Body Armor Section : Year 1999








The United States Department of Defense recognizes our PASGT Vest as the best body armor available for protection from exploding shrapnel and fragmentation. Our V50 Ballistic Test Data consistently meets or exceeds 1675 fps (510 Mps). Constructed of KevlarŪ high strength fibers, studies from Vietnam conclude that casualties could have been reduced by 40% if every soldier wore a PASGT helmet and vest. This Lightweight design allows great mobility and versatility. In additions, the KevlarŪ materials offer unprecedented heat and flame resistance. Thermal conductivity is lower than asbestos; the vest will not melt or support combustion.


UPGRADE OPTIONS:

- Ballistic upgrade to effectively handle 9mm FMJ and 44 magnum projectiles at 1400 fps (427 mps)

- KM2 KevlarŪ lighter weight, high performance materials may be substituted for a 15% weight reduction while maintaining the same ballistic rating
