Soft ballistic side insert set for a plate carrier cummerbund, available in two material options: UHMWPE or UHMWPE + Aramid. The UHMWPE + Aramid version provides enhanced flame resistance, reduced backface deformation, and additional protection against edged and pointed threats. In addition to the stated ballistic protection level, these soft armor inserts also help protect against small fragments and secondary projectiles, including concrete, glass, and similar debris.
This set includes two side panels, designed to enhance lateral protection while maintaining flexibility, low weight, and wearer comfort. They can be used as standalone soft armor or as a backing layer behind hard side plates for improved comfort and impact absorption.
