"Buitur" is a modern helmet with integrated mounts for various functional applications. A distinctive feature of this model is its shape: MICH helmets have a low cut, that is, they cover the ears. Thanks to this, the head's protected area is larger than that of FAST helmets. However, this shape limits the options for using some tactical accessories. In particular, active headphones can only be worn underneath, but instead there is the possibility of using active earplugs. The MICH "Buitur" model is made of aramid (Kevlar®) — a synthetic material with excellent ballistic properties. Its relative strength can exceed the indicators...

When making armor, it's important to take into account a number of characteristics, in particular the material of the products. But first it's necessary to understand what raw material is used for manufacturing and what its features are. We tell you about the three main materials we ourselves can't do without — UHMWPE, aramid and Cordura. Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fiber is an extremely strong thermoplastic. To put it more simply — it is one of the strongest threads in the world, which is in very high demand in the defense manufacturing industry. The tensile-strength indicators (the stretching force able to...

A military helmet is an element of gear for any serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, designed to protect the head in battle. In addition, helmets are used not only by soldiers of combat units but also by law-enforcement and emergency-service workers, journalists, medics and volunteers. However, the requirements for this gear will differ depending on the user's tasks. Functional features of military helmets. By design features, three main types of helmets are distinguished — one-piece, or PASGT; with a high cut, of the FAST type; with a low or medium cut, such as MICH. Let's look at each of them in more detail, taking into account the features...

The conditions of modern combat differ significantly from previous large wars, since defense manufacturing is developing at a frantic pace. Drones and artillery create a colossal threat of injury, in particular from fragments. It is precisely fragmentation injuries that soldiers mostly receive at the front. Because of this, there is an extremely high risk of receiving complex wounds: from multiple superficial injuries to damage to internal organs. To minimize the threat of such injuries, it's necessary to increase the area of the body's ballistic protection while preserving maneuverability. Modern armor suits, developed taking into account the combat realities in which our...

Despite the fact that we make gear from quality and strong materials, it still requires proper care to serve you for a long time. We'll tell you how to clean, store and transport your equipment so that it doesn't lose its properties. Care for plate carriers and body armor. Both body armor and a plate carrier have a fairly rigid construction that ensures the correct positioning of the armor elements — soft armor and plates — on the body. Of course, provided that you adjust them properly on yourself. However, the rigidity of the covers' construction is extremely important. So, first —...

As a key component of a modern soldier's gear, body armor provides comprehensive protection of the torso, and therefore of vital organs. Today the body-armor market offers a multitude of options for various tasks: external and concealed wear, lightened, tactical, modular, men's and women's, with different protection classes, and so on. And in order for body armor to perform its main function — protecting you! — and at the same time contribute to effective work rather than restricting your movements, it must be correctly chosen for your needs.

An armor plate is one of the main elements of military equipment that provides protection of the body and vital organs. It is able to withstand hits from fragments, as well as bullets of various calibers depending on the class, while also having different shapes and weight. When choosing gear for yourself, you need to consider several main characteristics, among which is weight, since your comfort and mobility during combat tasks will depend on it. The heavier the set of equipment, the faster you get exhausted and lose effectiveness. So how do you choose a ballistic plate...

The search for gear is a process that befalls all servicemen, and sometimes civilians too. And while with tactical clothing everything is more or less clear, with the choice of body armor problems can arise: what to pay attention to, what the differences may be, and, ultimately, which is better? Plates are the basis of body armor; it is precisely they that protect the torso and vital organs from injuries, so their choice should be approached as responsibly as possible. We tell you which characteristics to consider and how to choose the best armor plate. What to pay attention to when choosing plates? There are several main characteristics...

One of the important elements of tactical gear is the helmet, which is used to provide head protection from fragmentation injuries by both servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and members of emergency services, law-enforcement agencies and humanitarian missions. To obtain reliable protection, it's important to correctly choose protection for your tasks. When choosing a helmet, you need to consider 3 main criteria: – Shape – Size – Material.

Armor is an integral component of military equipment, on par with weapons. Its main purpose is to protect the body from various ballistic threats. Depending on the gear's ability to withstand various injuries, it is classified by protection levels in accordance with quality standards. The higher the class, the larger the caliber and fragments the armor can withstand. You need to choose the protection level in accordance with your tasks and the terrain: for work at a checkpoint there's no need for Level 6 plates, whereas Level 2 ballistic protection will be extremely insufficient in a zone...
