Modular Body Armor Vests & Ceramic Ballistic Plates


Our modular and compact body armor vests at Steel Defender include many integral and important features that make it highly effective and highly protective gear. The vests, of course, are supplied with ceramic ballistic plates for top protection and durability against blows. Some of the vests use steel, which of course is also a highly protective material. So the vests do their basic service. However, these modular and compact body armor vests also include PALS, or Pouch Attachment Ladder Systems, so that the usefulness of the vests is expanded significantly. This blog will tell you about PALS.
            The Pouch Attachment Ladder System is a grid, or system, of webbing. This system was invented and patented by United States Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center and is used to attach equipment onto different gear, such as vests and jackets. The goal is, of course, to do this in a useful and easy way. It was first used on modular light weight load carrying equipment (MOLLE) rucksacks. Now, it has branched out to all sorts of training and tactical vests, including the modular body armor vests we carry at Steel Defender. The PALS are used to attach all kinds of gear to the vests, such as knives, magazines for ammo, sticks, and other weapons or navigational gadgets The PALS come in different styles and types, so that a vest-wearer can have some individuality and customization of how their equipment lays. There are also different methods of attaching the PALS, which will determine how they lay on the vest.
            PALS in combination with the state of the art ceramic ballistic plates will keep you protected and equipped all through your mission.
