Reliable side protection for your ultimate safety.
The Bronyx Soft Ballistic Insert (SBI), measuring 200x150 mm (Type 2), is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly into the side modules (cummerbunds) of plate carriers. It provides highly effective protection against shrapnel, fragments, spall, and handgun rounds, significantly reducing the risk of severe injuries to the armpit and rib cage areas.
Utilizing Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE), this insert combines maximum durability, ultra-light weight, and flexibility, ensuring your mobility is never compromised during high-intensity maneuvers.
Key Features:
-
Ergonomics & Comfort: With a thickness of just 10–14 mm (which naturally compresses over time during use), the insert maintains a sleek, low profile.
-
Hermetic & Water-Resistant: The outer shell is crafted from heavy-duty, water-resistant nylon, shielding the ballistic core from moisture, sweat, and dirt to ensure consistent ballistic performance in any environment.
-
High V50 Fragmentation Rating: The insert delivers exceptional fragmentation resistance tested in accordance with STANAG 2920, successfully defeating fragments traveling at speeds exceeding 700 m/s.
