Soft armor systems

SB-01

K1 / K2 Soft Panels

Flexible ballistic inserts engineered for the CIBV2 MIL and CIBV2-MED vest systems — soft protection where hard plates can't go.

Class K1 / K2 · CIBV2 compatible

SB-02

Side Panels

Lateral coverage inserts that close the gap between front and back plates without locking down your range of motion.

Class K1 / K2 · CIBV2 compatible

SB-03

Danglers

Low-mounted abdominal protection that hangs off the carrier — coverage for the zone most rigs ignore.

Class K1 / K2 · CIBV2 compatible

Soft inserts are built to the same house rule as the hard plates: rated to the Polish PN-V-87000:2011 ballistic classes and shaped around the CIBV2 MIL / CIBV2-MED carrier ecosystem. Pair them with the PATROL or WARRIOR plates for a layered protection package.

The PATROL family carries class K2+ against common handgun and PDW threats.
