“The four-panel ‘chassis’ design virtually eliminates the ride up effect when officers are seated and creates better mobility while performing their critical missions,” explained Skip Church, Vice President Armored Products. “Protection is paramount, and this design offers increased side area coverage, eliminating gaps.”
Most days on the job are spent sitting, standing and a whole host of other duty-related maneuvers, such as climbing fences, giving chase or squatting down to help someone in need of aid. A vest should move with the user and not get in the way. Not only is ill-fitting body armor uncomfortable, it can also expose vulnerabilities as the protective panels are no longer lined up correctly. So each 4PV armor system is designed to be fully adjustable for comfort and proper fit, providing the maximum protection no matter the user’s size or activity.
That’s why there is 4PV armor to fit any need:
- 4PV: Concealed and comfortable
- 4PV-FEM: Fit to the female form
- 4PV-TAC: Tactical and tough
- 4PV-U: Professional and protected
All 4PV styles can accommodate a wide range of NIJ-rated ballistic protection to fit the job if called upon.
“The 4PV is a leap forward in officer protection,” according to Church. “It was created to eliminate issues that have plagued the outdated two-panel design for years.”
From concealable body armor for everyday uniform wear to outside body armor to fit a departmental look or tactical protection for high-risk operations, the 4PV line has everything needed to maximize comfort and protection.
