Discover our range of trauma pads, designed to reduce impact and improve comfort under ballistic protection. Lightweight and resistant, they allow better shock absorption while optimizing mobility and ventilation.
In the military, it is common to hear some operators refer to their NIJ 3A 360 as "anti-trauma" protection . This is a critical error.
In reality, military equipment is often composed of ICW ( In Conjunction With ) ballistic plates , which absolutely must be used with NIJ 3A soft protection underneath.
An anti-trauma plate does not offer any ballistic protection and is in no way a substitute for a 3A soft insert.
👉 If you are in the military, using your own under-equipment vest, and your plates are not stand-alone, you absolutely must equip yourself with NIJ 3A soft protection to guarantee your safety.
For information
What is an anti-trauma plate?
A trauma plate is an add-on insert used with bulletproof vest to reduce the physical impact of a projectile on the body, even when the bullet is stopped by the primary ballistic protection.
Indeed, during a shot, the energy of the shock can cause internal injuries (such as contusions, fractures or organic lesions), without penetrating the armor. The anti-trauma plate, generally flexible or semi-rigid, absorbs and disperses this energy, thus limiting the effects of the shock wave on the wearer .
It is particularly recommended in high-risk environments or for professionals wanting a higher level of protection.
