Dutch armourvest with kevlarplates (originally posted by ys2003)

Dutch armourvest with bodyshaped kevlarplates.

The Dutch army did begin using in 1993 the first time armourvests.Before that it was only shrapnel proof.
The firts type was a Englisch [uk]dpm with a kangaroo pocket on the front.

After that there was a model with alice system.
In between those there was the tussenmodel[in between model]This vest wasn,t a over your head model but it had velcro on the left arm so it was a slide version .Mostley used by rank.It didn,t come with ceramic plats but there was room for them.
Now there is the modulair version.

The 1 ceramic plate was straigt, 2 model slightly curved, 3model much curv and a rubber liner for multi impacts.

My collection is getting bigger.

It's interesting that the vest used in the Yugoslav conflict is very similar in design and appearance to the older US PASGT vests. Thanks for sharing!

A brand new vest from our SF .
This comes from a test batch .Most of them where only ventilation[no armor].
There are 2 ventilators each with 4 aa batteries blowing some air in the vest .A NO sound system.
