Class 1 Ballistic Side Protection — Specprom

The 150 x 200 mm ballistic side protection from Specprom is a lightweight and effective solution for reinforcing the side protection zone of a plate carrier. The product belongs to the category: Military Gear > Soft Ballistic Protection > Class 1 Protection. The package is designed for those who value both mobility and reliable protection.

Description and Purpose

Specprom ballistic packages are easy to use and add almost no weight to the gear, preserving the soldier's speed and maneuverability. Their primary role is to provide side protection against fragments, blast waves, and small-caliber bullet impacts, specifically 9×18 mm (Makarov and Luger) cartridges. Such packages are widely used worldwide as a more thoughtful and lighter alternative to rigid side armor plates.

Key Features

• Protection Class according to DSTU: 1 (protects against fragments, blast waves, and 9 × 18 mm Makarov and Luger bullet shots)
• Weight: 0.28 kg (per piece) — significantly lighter than side armor plates
• Size: 150 x 200 mm (elongated, fits all our plate carriers)
• Material: synthetic Kevlar + UHMWPE (combination provides optimal weight-to-protection ratio)

Ballistic packages are effective in protecting against fragments and minimizing injuries from shrapnel wounds. Their thin design allows for wearing additional side protection in load-bearing systems without significantly reducing mobility.

Advantages and Recommendations

• Minimal weight and compactness — do not reduce combat effectiveness due to overloaded gear.
• Versatility — the 150×200 mm size integrates well into standard plate carriers.
• Premium materials — the combination of Kevlar and UHMWPE ensures a long service life and reliable protection.
• Alternative to side armor plates — for those who prioritize maneuverability.

Specprom also manufactures soft armor packages of any size to order, allowing the protection to be adapted to individual user requirements and plate carrier design.

If you are choosing side protection for field conditions or operational use, this Class 1 ballistic package will be a reliable and lightweight solution that meets modern protection requirements and DSTU standards.
