Brief characteristics
It is impossible to predict where an enemy bullet or fragments will come from, so it is worth taking care of your own safety in advance. The M-Tas brand has developed and released ABDOMINAL PROTECTION WITH BALLISTIC PACKAGE 2 CLASS OF PROTECTION, which significantly increases the area of ββprotection of the fighter\'s body.
The product is a compact removable module that provides anti-fragmentation protection of the lower abdomen. It consists of two sections fastened together with slings. Thanks to this design solution, this item of equipment will not cause discomfort during active physical exertion.
Made of Cordura 500D - a durable material that is resistant to abrasion and high loads. The upper section of the module is equipped with an integrated pouch, which consists of one fairly capacious pocket with a moisture-proof zipper. On the front of the pouch there is a Velcro panel with slots, designed to accommodate both additional equipment and identifiers and patches. At the bottom of the pouch there is an elastic band intended for placing a tourniquet, as well as special eyelets to remove dirt and dust that have gotten inside the pouch.
M-Tac belly protection with a ballistic package of protection class 2 can be attached both to the Velcro panel located under the front plate and to the flap panel. This is possible thanks to the Velcro panel located on the upper part of the module. The rough part of the Velcro panel is double-sided, so its position can be changed according to your chosen method of attachment.
Also, the belly protection is equipped with a ballistic package designed to protect against ricochets and fragments. Made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and complies with STANAG 2920 with a V-50 fragmentation resistance index of about 758.6 m/s.
To understand the analogy with bulletproof resistance, an armor package with a similar composition corresponds to class 2 (7.62*25 Pst) according to DSTU 8782:2018 and withstands a shot of 9 Γ 18 mm, (9 mm Makarov), 9 Γ 19 mm, (9 mm Luger, 9 mm Parabellum) from pistols and carbines chambered for a pistol cartridge and 7.62 Γ 25 mm, (7.62 Γ 25 Tokarev).
(Class 2 refers to the equivalent in composition, which is tested on standard samples of 400x400mm. Therefore, the injury caused by the obstacle may differ on samples of smaller size and shape).

Due to its unique qualities, Cordura is widely used in tactical equipment of the military, law enforcement and special forces. Basically, these are materials with a linear density of 1000d and 500d. Linear density is the ratio of the mass of the thread of the material to its length. It is measured in denier. This unit of measurement is generally used for nylon products. Accordingly, the higher this indicator, the denser and heavier the fabric. The physical and technical characteristics of CORDURA 1000D are very high, the breaking load is about 3000 N, the tearing load is about 150 N. Abrasion resistance is more than 50,000 cycles. It is used for clothing, covers, pouches.
Products made from CORDURA materials will undoubtedly stand the test of time and distance. CORDURA is strength, reliability and style. In terms of strength, it is unrivaled.
