documented buyer-specified documentation buyer-specified protective configuration

This vest provides documented buyer-specified documentation protection. The front and back pockets are compatible with removable protective inserts, offering reliable defense against common buyer-specified test conditions. For enhanced protection, the rear pocket is also sized to accommodate a standard hard armor rifle plate. We provide all testing documentation to meet the stringent compliance requirements of your organization’s duty of care policies.

Discreet, Non-Threatening Appearance

The “Press” Vest is specifically designed to look like a piece of standard field equipment, not aggressive military gear. Its multi-pocket, button-front design is reminiscent of a photographer’s or journalist’s vest, making it ideal for personnel who need to operate in sensitive or unstable regions without being perceived as combatants. This de-escalating design is a critical safety feature.

Functional & Comfortable for All-Day Wear

Designed for extended missions, the vest features a highly breathable mesh lining that promotes airflow and reduces heat stress. The multi-pocket design includes four front utility pockets for essential equipment like notebooks, communication devices, and medical supplies. The fully adjustable shoulders and elasticated waist straps ensure a secure, comfortable fit for various body types.

Emergency-Ready Safety Features

Built for the most challenging environments, the “Press” Vest incorporates a reinforced rescue drag handle on the upper back. This critical feature is bar-tacked for exceptional strength, allowing a teammate to safely extract an injured colleague from a dangerous situation. This is a non-negotiable feature for professional-grade safety equipment.
