NEXUS: Level IIIA Soft Armour for the Drop Down Utility Pouch

NEXUS: Level IIIA Soft Armour for the Drop Down Utility Pouch

Overview

Nexus Soft Armour utilizes SB51 Dyneema® unidirectional fabric, delivering significantly greater stopping power than traditional woven aramid armour. The unidirectional construction allows for superior energy absorption, resulting in shallower and wider backface deformation and greatly reduced Blunt Trauma Injury (BTI) to the end user.

Dyneema® is inherently water resistant and unaffected by moisture. For added protection, all Nexus panels are heat-sealed inside a protective cover, providing additional resistance to water ingress and UV exposure.
Manufactured in the United Kingdom.


Ballistic Performance
