 | Home Office Certified HG1 + KR1 + SP1 The Fortis Zip-Front Ballistic Vest is certified under the Home Office’s HOSDB 2003 standard for bullet, knife and spike resistant armour to an HG1 + KR1 + SP1 level. Sometimes erroneously described as bulletproof body armour, it offers a high level of protection against handgun, slash and spike attacks in accordance with the UK government standards. This means that it defends against common offensive tools such as 9mm calibre guns, knives, screwdrivers, glass and more. Unlike the US’ NIJ standard, the Home Office Standard puts a greater emphasis on back-face trauma which is the kinetic force and its’ effect on internal organs rather than just whether the bullet penetrates the armour. |
 | Aramid Fibre Construction The Fortis Zip-Front Ballistic Vest panels are constructed from 18 Layers of Aramid Fibre (also known as Kevlar Armour when branded) with just one layer of other materials. Aramid Fibre is the most expensive material used in body armour due to its’ efficiency at protecting wearers. Many companies combine Aramid with other materials to reduce costs at the expense of protection. This armour does not do this and uses Aramid Fibre almost exclusively. |
 | Flexible Armour Panels The Fortis Zip-Front Ballistic Vest’s armour panels are made from Aramid Fibre which means that it is much more flexible than soft-steel, carbon fibre or ceramic plate armours. This is important feature for bulletproof body armour to have as users may require their full-range of motion while performing their duties. The kevlar armour is housed in a tough Cordura cover which is both durable and flexible. |
 | Adjustable Velcro Straps The Fortis Zip-Front Ballistic Vest consists of two parts, the front and the back, which are joined by hook and loop (velcro) straps at the sides and shoulders. These can be adjusted to ensure that the armour conforms to tightly to the body. |
 | Dual Large Pockets on the Front The Fortis Zip-Front Ballistic Vest has two deep, hook and loop(Velcro)-secured utility pockets on the front that can be used to store essential items. They are roughly 14.5cm deep and large enough to hold most mobile phones, notepads and some radios. |
 | Hidden, Secured Zip The Fortis Zip-Front Ballistic Vest has a hidden zip which is secured by a cordura flap. The flap has a layer of velcro which helps keep it sealed when the user exerts themselves. The reason for this is to prevent assailants from simply pulling down the zip during a confrontation and negating the armour’s protection. |
 | Anti-Sweat Mesh & Support Strap The Fortis Zip-Front Ballistic Vest is lined with a thin mesh that is designed to keep the user cool during the summer months and to reduce sweat build up when involved in physical activity. It also has a lumbar support strap that goes around the body and holds the vest securely in place. |
 | Made in Britain The Fortis Zip-Front Ballistic Vest is proudly made in Britain by well-known UK manufacturer, Fortis. |
