ABSTRACT:
A body armor panel has integral receivers disposed intermediate the multiple ballistic layers of the panel at the side and shoulder portions thereof. Resilient straps extend from the receivers, and have separable fasteners on the ends thereof for attachment to complimentary fasteners on a wearer's body. Using resilient straps, anchored in and extending from both the shoulders and sides allows the armor panel to be tensioned around its periphery, thus causing the armor panel to substantially keep its shape and surface area protection after successive impacts, as the resilient straps counteract the drawing in of the ballistic layers after each impact. Multiple linear stitching is used to attach each receiver within the armor panel to reduce susceptibility to ballistic impacts and to allow contouring of the side and shoulder portions to a body shape.
