Ideal backup protection system as a ballistic supplement. The Safe4Life FlexShield with soft ballistic high-performance package, can be stiffened using a CO² cartridge and worn like a protective shield. In contrast to our “large” AirFrame protective blankets, a much flatter inflation bulge with a smaller cartridge is used here. Inflated to fit between car door and seat.
The base of the FlexShield is equipped with soft ballistics of protection class VPAM 4. Depending on the application, it can be upgraded to protection class VPAM 6 using upgrade plates (plus 2 x 2 kg for the entire area).
- Smallest packing dimensions with approx. 60 x 30 cm.
- Active usable area: 60 x 60 cm.
- Upgradable with ballistic plates to VPAM 6.
- Weight only 3.7 kg with soft ballistics and less than 8 kg including hard ballistic plates!
- Almost complete coverage of the upper body from the chin to the abdomen.
- Flexibility is retained even when inflated.
- Colours: black, olive.
benefits
Unique system
- The sign, measuring 60 x 60 centimetres, comes folded and is supplied in a compact carrying bag.
- The supplied slide-in plates for increasing the protection class to VPAM 6 are stowed in the carrying bag and can be inserted into the plate pockets provided in just a few seconds.
- Without the hard ballistic plates, the FlexShield corresponds to test level VPAM 4, which means it is able to stop all handgun calibers up to .44 Magnum.
- In addition, it offers protection against stabbing weapons, such as blades and spikes, up to a height of 80 joules.
- In the area of the armrest, it offers additional impact protection, which also reduces trauma when shot at.
- A CO2 cartridge, which once triggered, fills the inflation bulge of the shield in a few seconds provides the necessary stability.
- Multiple shields can be connected to each other via the connection zippers to expand the protected area.
- Linked shields can also be used as stretchers to transport injured people.
- The inflated FlexShield has a carrying capacity of up to 90 kg in the water.
- The FlexShield offers maximum protection compared to conventional ballistic shields due to its multiple uses (ballistic and stab/stab).
- The FlexShield is easy to stow away in a vehicle to save space.
- Due to the ever more extensive resources in the emergency vehicles, these are reaching the limits of the permissible payload. Every kilo that can be saved helps.
