This lightweight, armored protective garment is designed to shield an arm or leg from blast superheated gases, blast overpressure shock, shrapnel, and spall from explosive devices, such as Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPGs) or roadside Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). The garment features a ballistic sleeve made of ballistic fabric, such as aramid fiber (e.g., KEVLAR®) cloth, which prevents thermal burns from blast superheated gases while providing protection from fragments.

The rigid inserts can be constructed from multiple plies of a carbon/epoxy composite laminate. The combination of six layers of KEVLAR® fabric and 28 plies of carbon/epoxy laminate inserts, sandwiched between the KEVLAR® layers, meets the level IIIA fragmentation minimum requirements for the US Interceptor Outer Tactical Vest.
