Ballistic NIJ IIIA Neck and Shoulders Protector for the Sioen TG2 Vest.
Shrapnel protection for the vulnerable neck and shoulder area is quite valuable, and this add-on offers just that. This particular protector is compatible with Sioen's TG2 Vest that has matching loop surfaces on the inside.
The protection coverage can be increased further with the TG2 Upper Arm Protectors and TG2 Throat Protector – the latter actually requires this Neck and Shoulders Protector to attach correctly.
All materials and components meet the strict FDF criteria for NIR reflectance.
There are many standards but this one is the most common in Europe and widely used worldwide. Soft panels offer IIIA at most, from there it's hard plates.
