Flexible soft ballistic inserts sold as a set for the Thor protective vest: for users who need a practical, low-profile protective solution for the chest and back areas.
The Soft Ballistic VPAM 2 Thor Protective Vest (Set) is a thin, freedom-of-movement soft ballistic protection system for the torso. The set is designed to fit into the insert compartments of the Thor protection vest and ensures a stable, close-fitting position during operational use.
Please note: The ballistic insert may only be used as intended when placed inside a suitable vest shell or carrying sleeve. Without a shell, a secure fit cannot be guaranteed, and use is not considered proper.
The insert is designed in accordance with VPAM 2 for close-range fire and provides bullet resistance against soft-core projectiles from handguns in the 9 x 19 mm FMJ caliber. A glancing blow is taken into account.
Important: Ballistic protection reduces the risk but does not completely prevent injuries. Even without a penetration, the residual energy can cause blunt trauma and result in injuries.
Twaron, a high-performance aramid, is used as the ballistic material. The multi-layered aramid construction helps absorb the energy of an impact and distribute it across the surface. The product is designed to be 6 mm thick and has a weight per unit area of 3.6 kg/m². It comes with a 10-year warranty and is manufactured in Germany.
If you require a higher protection class within the Thor soft ballistics range, you can find the alternative here: VPAM 3 Plus variant for Thor.
The Thor Set consists of a front and back panel and protects the central impact zone in the chest and back areas. This provides coverage precisely where, in many operational situations, the greatest risk from handgun threats exists.
For effective protection, it is crucial that the inserts lie flat against the body and do not slip. After insertion, ensure that the insertion compartments are completely closed and that the inserts sit without any creases.
Always wear ballistic protection with the strike face facing outward, toward the outer layer.
Additional labels such as “Body Side Here” help with orientation but do not replace checking the strike face and back side before installation.
The Thor Set is designed as a ballistic insert for the Thor protective vest and is worn in its insert compartments. The set consists of a front panel and a back panel. Labeling may vary depending on the version; the back panel may feature a combined size designation, such as M-L.
Note on third-party vests: Different cut lines or pocket dimensions may affect the secure fit. For a precise fit, use within the intended carrier system is recommended.
Compatible carrying platform: Thor protective vest cover.
Note: This product was specifically designed for use by military or law enforcement personnel.
