Lower Back Protection with Ballistic Panel Level 1 DSTU Pixel

The ballistic armour panel is manufactured to industry standards and provides Level 1 protection according to DSTU (Ukrainian State Standard) 8782:2018.

The ballistic panel withstands:

• 9×18 mm (9 mm Makarov – bullet velocity 335±10 m/s)
• 9×19 mm (9 mm Luger – bullet velocity 335±10 m/s)

Dimensions & Protection Area:

• Size of the pannel: 300x150 mm
• Total protection area: provides lower back protection

Ballistic Panel Materials:

Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE): Manufactured by “Dyneema”, USA. This material is recognised for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, offering outstanding ballistic protection.

Pointex AP (Kevlar): Known for its ability to absorb impact energy and minimise the risk of injury from bullets and fragments.

Oxford: Ensures material integrity and moisture resistance, extending the product’s lifespan.

Our ballistic protection is made from top-quality materials - “Dyneema” from the USA and synthetic Kevlar “Pointex AP” from Italy.

Carrier Material:

Cordura: Adds extra durability and water resistance, and is also tear-resistant.

Intended use:

Designed for: The lower back protection is designed for soldiers operating in high-risk environments where attacks from lower angles are possible. It is especially suitable for APC drivers, artillery crews, and engineering units working with mines and explosives.

Task types: It is best to use as extra protection when working in a seated or semi-reclined position for example, in trenches or during extended vehicle operation.

Why it’s needed: The lower back area often remains exposed, increasing the risk of serious injuries from fragments.

Not suitable for: Soldiers who require maximum mobility and flexibility such as, reconnaissance units or assault teams, where lightweight and unrestricted movements are essential.

Benefits: Provides additional protection against fragments and debris coming from below, reducing the risk of injury and increasing confidence and safety during combat.

Our committment is to protect the lives of our soldiers. We rigorously test all our products for quality compliance to ensure 100% confidence in everything we manufacture.
