ATOMIC DEFENSE supplies body armor for the professional.

Body armor, also known as body armor, is specially designed protective equipment worn to protect the body from bullets, sharp objects, and other potentially dangerous projectiles. The purpose of body armor is to provide the wearer (including dogs) with an increased level of safety and protection in hazardous situations, such as in military operations, law enforcement duties or certain high-risk occupations.

Body armor consists of several layers of material, usually a combination of sturdy textiles and special ballistic fibres, such as Kevlar or aramid fibres. These materials are designed to absorb and disperse the impact of projectiles, reducing the chance of injury. Body armor can provide different levels of protection depending on the type of threat it can withstand. This is indicated by the NIJ (National Institute of Justice) standard, such as NIJ Level II, Level IIIA, Level III or Level IV, where each level offers different protection against different types of ammunition.

Modern Body Armor

Modern body armor is designed with comfort and freedom of movement in mind. It is often custom made to fit the wearer's body properly and may have several adjustment options to ensure a good fit. Body armor can be worn like a vest worn over the upper body, but there are also special designs for protecting other parts of the body, such as the head, neck, groin, and limbs.

The use of body armor is not limited to military and law enforcement personnel. It is also increasingly used in certain high-risk occupations such as security personnel, certain industrial jobs and even some sports such as airsoft or paintball where protection against projectiles is important.

Protection

It is important to note that while body armor can reduce the risk of injury, it is not an absolute guarantee of complete protection. The ability of body armor to prevent injury depends on several factors, such as the quality and level of protection of the vest, its proper fit and proper wearing. It is therefore essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions and regularly check the quality and condition of the vest.

All in all, body armor provides an extra layer of protection and safety for people who find themselves in dangerous situations. It can be a valuable piece of equipment for those exposed to potentially hazardous conditions on a daily basis, helping to prevent injury and save lives.
