Verco Materials UrbanShieldMH ballistic vests originated as a spin-off of high-performance boron carbide technology developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology. After a number of years of DOD-supported (Army Research Laboratory, Army Natick, NavAir, DARPA) development, we are pleased to offer a unique product for rifle protection of US law enforcement personnel.
The armor is based on an imbricated (nested together) pattern of carbon fiber-wrapped boron carbide tiles, encapsulated with and backed by layers of soft ballistic fabric. UrbanShieldMH is backed by numerous US and international patents, rigorous testing at nationally-certified ballistics laboratories and NIJ Level III certification.
The armor, which draws into and molds to the body, is remarkably comfortable, permits freedom of movement, shows enhanced multi-hit capabilities\ and has customizable, extended and continuous coverage.
Every individual in law enforcement has a different role to play. For Verco’s extended coverage systems, there are no standard sizes, no standard coverage; the armor panels, and their carriers (outer tactical vests), are custom-made to the measurements and needs of each member of the law enforcement team.
The vests are manufactured in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia.
