data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Type II and Type III-A Ballistic Protection<\/h4>\n<p>The <strong>Ray Allen Modular Ballistic Vest<\/strong> is offered with two ballistic protection options.<\/p>\n<p>The manufacturer describes both configurations as NIJ-compliant in performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Type II<\/strong> provides a lighter protective configuration, with a stated vest weight of approximately 3.9 lb (1.77 kg).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Type III-A<\/strong> offers a higher ballistic protection category and weighs approximately 4.8 lb (2.18 kg).<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Ray Allen Modular Ballistic Vest<\/strong> is intended to protect vital organs from specified handgun-related ballistic threats.<\/p>\n<p>Actual protection depends on the selected armor configuration, projectile characteristics, impact location and condition of the panels.<\/p>\n<p>The manufacturer&#8217;s product description does not establish that every vest configuration has undergone independent certification as a complete canine armor system.<\/p>\n<h4>Durable 1000D Cordura Construction<\/h4>\n<p>The <strong>Ray Allen Modular Ballistic Vest<\/strong> features a rugged 1000D Cordura nylon outer shell.<\/p>\n<p>This material is selected for its durability and resistance to demanding working environments.<\/p>\n<p>Underneath, the vest incorporates a pack-cloth lining designed to make cleaning and removal of dog hair easier.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Ray Allen Modular Ballistic Vest<\/strong> also uses Mil-Spec Type 8 webbing and heavy-duty fastening components.<\/p>\n<p>Its construction is intended to provide dependable equipment retention while maintaining practical adjustability.<\/p>\n<p>Regular inspection remains essential, particularly after intensive use or exposure to abrasive surfaces.<\/p>\n<h4>Removable Ballistic Armor Panels<\/h4>\n<p>The <strong>Ray Allen Modular Ballistic Vest<\/strong> incorporates removable ballistic armor panels.<\/p>\n<p>VELCRO\u00ae closures allow the panels to be accessed and removed when cleaning the outer vest or arranging an appropriate replacement.<\/p>\n<p>This modular construction helps simplify maintenance of the textile carrier.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Ray Allen Modular Ballistic Vest<\/strong> must only be relied upon for its intended ballistic protection when the correct protective panels are installed and properly positioned.<\/p>\n<p>Removing the armor panels eliminates the specified ballistic protection.<\/p>\n<p>Replacement panels must be approved for the relevant vest configuration.<\/p>\n<h4>MOLLE and VELCRO\u00ae Attachment Options<\/h4>\n<p>The <strong>Ray Allen Modular Ballistic Vest<\/strong> provides practical mounting areas for compatible equipment and identification.<\/p>\n<p>A VELCRO\u00ae panel approximately 4 inches wide runs along much of the upper section.<\/p>\n<p>A MOLLE strip is positioned beneath this panel on each side.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Ray Allen Modular Ballistic Vest<\/strong> also includes an approximately 2 \u00d7 8-inch VELCRO\u00ae area on each side for identification patches.<\/p>\n<p>These features allow handlers to attach suitable accessories without modifying the vest.<\/p>\n<p>Avoid overloading the vest or placing equipment where it could interfere with movement or protective coverage.<\/p>\n<h4>Standard and Heavy-Duty Configurations<\/h4>\n<p>The <strong>Ray Allen Modular Ballistic Vest<\/strong> is available in standard and Heavy-Duty configurations.<\/p>\n<p>Standard versions feature heavy-duty plastic side-release buckles and a rear V-ring.<\/p>\n<p>Heavy-Duty versions add:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li><strong>Two top-mounted handles<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>An additional V-ring<\/li>\n<li><strong>Metal buckles<\/strong> instead of plastic buckles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The <strong>Ray Allen Modular Ballistic Vest<\/strong> therefore offers different handling configurations to suit professional requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The extra hardware on Heavy-Duty versions should not be interpreted as permission to use the vest for unsupported lifting or suspension applications.<\/p>\n<h4 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wikipedia.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-162268
