Ballistic vest VIP PGD-Ultra 3 in 1 from the Danish company Protection Group is designed for professionals who move in high-risk areas. It's three types of protection in one package - with this vest you get protection against the effects of firearms and stab wounds, plus reduced blunt force trauma.
It is a bulletproof vest that has been tested to the highest levels of protection, NIJ IIIA, while being able to withstand calibers up to .44 Magnum and .357 Sig. In addition, it is a NIJ Level 1 (36 joules) stab protection vest, both knife and nail.
The Protection Group PGD-Ultra Ballistic Vest is six times stronger than steel, because it is made from a unique blend of Unidirectional Aramid fibers. It's also more effective than the Protection Group's PGD-Alpha vest, so it's even better at absorbing blunt force trauma energy. It thus protects against blunt objects, such as baseball bats, etc.
This ballistic vest also boasts Outlast PCM technology. This ensures that the vest can adapt to your body temperature. If you are hot, this technology can get rid of the heat, and conversely, if you are cold, it can warm you up. Outlast PCM technology was originally developed for NASA and allows the vest to be worn for 12 to 14 hours at a time.
It should be mentioned that Outlast PCM is a technology and not a material used. Traditional sweat-wicking materials help you get rid of heat when you're overheated, i.e. active. But Outlast PCM reacts to body surface temperature. For example, if you are patrolling in a cold environment, it will adapt and help warm you up.
The cut of the Protection Group PGD-Ultra ballistic vest is universal, so the vest can be worn by both men and women. The stealthy design, in turn, ensures discretion during covert missions. On the surface of the ballistic vest there is an ultrasonically welded polyurethane cover, which is resistant to water and sweat.
There are six different sizes of the PGD-Ultra ballistic vest, which are compatible with different hard plates on the front and back. Plate compatibility is as follows:
sizes S-M: With ESAPI
sizes L-XL: M ESAPI
size XXL: 10 × 12, M ESAPI
size XXXL: 10 × 12, M and L ESAPI
The product is designed and manufactured exclusively for use in security forces (Police, Army, IRS components) or for use by people involved in ensuring public order (Municipal Police, established reserves of the state), alternatively for self-defense. The product is not categorized as PPE, therefore it cannot be used for activities other than those mentioned above, in particular it cannot be used for sports activities or for the performance of security guard activities.
