Instavest Female Vests – Ballistic protection, designed specifically for women Topics - Instavest Female Vests – Ballistic protection, designed specifically for women Women today play an ever increasing role in the Armed Forces. Female soldiers are being trained as equals to men they are every bit as effective and efficient in their service. This is reason for cheer, however their lies one base fundamental that could differentiate a man from a woman, that is the anatomy. As a result of the different anatomical structure of a woman, the Armed Forces need to recognize that for personal protection an alternative solution is required. The same doctrines used for designing ballistic vests for males, cannot be directly used, when designing for vests for females. Due to the differences in

anatomy, the normal frontal structure of ballistic vests, if used for women can lead to discomfort and maybe long-term injury. Alternately, vests manufactured with extra room in front to accommodate women's chests would generally reveal gaps in the ballistic fabric on the sides of the vests or under the officers' arms which pose fatal injuries. Female shoulders are also shaped differently, resulting in uplifting of vests while in various tactical positions which lead to discomfort and/or exposed areas. As a result, women reported that their bulletproof vests were either uncomfortable, didn't provide proper coverage of their torsos, or both. The most common challenges included the following:

Fitting of body armour: Ill-fitting vests are of the major concerns for women in active combat duty, as they were generally offered smaller sizes of ballistic vests made for men. Wearing an ill-fitting vest for a long time can pose a variety of unique health hazards, exposing female officers to a condition called Cooper’s ligament where these vests can cause irreparable damage by causing tears to a major ligament within the breasts.
Planar armour: Ill-fitting vests, or those not designed specifically for the women anatomy lead to loss of protective coverage which is the most crucial reason to adorn bullet resistant vests.

At MKU, our engineers and designers have been working hard with to solve these challenges. After various trials and successful outcomes, we are proud to introduce our most advanced range of ballistic vests for female soldiers. They use unique techniques and technologies to mold both, soft and hard armour, which offer near perfect fit for women. Their features include: Better Fitting and coverage: Our newly designed ballistic vests provide a better fitting to the body contour without compromising the performance of the armor. We have further redesigned outer covers to ensure a fit that compliments the body and fits perfectly.

Better Comfort:
The highly conductive and wickable materials used in our Instavest female vets facilitate better sweat and heat management which helps reduce heat stress and provide proper ventilation to deliver physical and psychological comfort.
