U-WIN Nape Protector with External Helmet Mount, UHMWPE, Protection Class 2
The U-WIN nape protector is designed to provide additional ballistic coverage for the area between the head and neck—one of the most vulnerable zones during combat, tactical, and operational missions. The module expands the protective coverage of a helmet system and helps reduce the risk of injury from fragments, ricochets, and handgun-caliber threats.
The protector is mounted on the exterior rear section of the helmet and secured using a Velcro panel. For enhanced stability, the system features additional attachment points that connect to the helmet retention system via shock-cord elements. This mounting method prevents the protector from shifting backward during active movement and ensures a secure fit during operation.
If the helmet cover is equipped with a MOLLE interface, the attachment elements can be further integrated into the load-bearing system, improving retention and compatibility with a wide range of modern helmets.
Its ergonomic shape follows the contour of the nape area, allowing unrestricted head movement while maintaining helmet balance. Compact dimensions and low weight make the module comfortable for extended use without adding noticeable bulk.
The outer cover is made from durable Cordura® 1000D fabric, offering excellent resistance to abrasion, mechanical damage, and harsh field conditions.
Ballistic Protection
The package includes a soft ballistic insert made from Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE), consisting of 55 layers of protective material. The insert is sealed inside a waterproof enclosure to protect it from moisture and environmental exposure.
The total protection area is 1.1 dm². According to testing results, the insert provides protection equivalent to Class 2 under DSTU 8782:2018 standards and is capable of stopping:
- 5.9 g Makarov pistol rounds;
- 8 g Luger pistol rounds;
- 5.5 g 7.62×25 mm Tokarev rounds;
- fired from a distance of 5 meters.
Fragmentation resistance has been verified according to NATO STANAG 2920 testing procedures. The V50 value of 723 m/s confirms effective protection against high-velocity fragments and secondary projectiles.
