Phantom 1.0 Level IIIA Bullet Proof Combat Jacket

• Fabric Composition: Reinforced ripstop outer shell with quilted thermal liner.
• Material Details: Polyester and elastane blend selected for abrasion resistance, weather protection, and flexibility while maintaining a lightweight structure.
• Weight: Approx. 1,250 g (±5%), excluding ballistic inserts.
• Pockets: 9 utility pockets designed for organized storage and easy access.
• Water Resistance: Water-repellent treatment helps shed rain and surface moisture.
• Breathability: Air-permeable membrane allows moisture release, keeping skin dry and comfortable.
• Wind Resistance: Outer shell construction reduces wind penetration in cold conditions.
• Thermal Insulation: Quilted thermal liner provides effective heat retention without excessive bulk.
• Design: Ergonomic, stretch-enhanced construction supports natural movement and layering.
• Hood: Adjustable and detachable hood with reinforced seams.
• Zippers: Heavy-duty zippers designed for repeated use in outdoor conditions.
• Side Zippers: Dual side-access zippers for fast equipment reach and added ventilation.
• Cuff System: Hook-and-loop cuff adjustment with integrated cold-weather hand-protection sections.
• Patch Panels: Laser-cut velcro patch panels for clean profile and reinforced patch durability.
• Chest Pocket: Reinforced internal structure suitable for secure item storage.
• Construction: Double-stitched seams reinforced with polyamide thread.
• Included Ballistic Protection: Delivered with integrated soft ballistic armor inserts seated in the internal compartments. Inserts are not sold separately for this variant.
• Insert Ballistic Protection Level: NIJ Level IIIA — protects against 7.65 mm, 9 mm, .45 CAL, .44 Magnum, .357 Magnum, and .38 Special calibers.
• Insert Material: Constructed from high-strength ballistic fabrics such as Aramid and Polyethylene for advanced impact resistance and long-term durability.
• Insert Certification: Independently tested under NIJ 0101.06 protocol for verified ballistic performance at Level IIIA.
• Insert Multi-Hit Capability: Tested for multi-hit performance under NIJ 0101.06 protocol. Each impact dissipates energy through the panel structure; repeated strikes at the exact same point may reduce localized performance.
• Insert Backface Deformation (BFS): Tested below the NIJ 0101.06 maximum allowable limit of 44 mm. A reduced backface signature limits blunt-force trauma transferred to the wearer at the moment of impact.
• Knife-Resistant Construction: Reinforced fabric layers in the panels enhance protection against edged-weapon and blunt-force threats.
• Insert Mobility: Flexible soft armor panels maintain unrestricted movement without compromising safety.
• Post-Impact Service: Any insert that has absorbed a recorded hit, sustained a hard drop, or shown surface damage should be inspected by a qualified technician and replaced if structural integrity is compromised — internal damage is not always visible from the outside.

• Weather Management: Water-repellent and wind-resistant construction supports use in cold and wet environments.
• Insulation Without Bulk: Quilted thermal liner retains heat while maintaining mobility.
• Durable Construction: Reinforced ripstop fabric and double stitching improve long-term durability.
• Functional Storage: Nine tactical pockets, including a chest pocket designed for sidearm carry or secure item storage.
• Adaptable Hood System: Detachable and adjustable hood enhances weather versatility.
• Cold-Weather Cuff: Hook-and-loop cuff adjustment with integrated hand-protection sections for sub-zero use.
• Fast Kit Access: Dual side-access zippers open a route to internally carried equipment and add ventilation when needed.
• Ergonomic Fit: Stretch-enhanced design supports full mobility for tactical maneuvers and field operations.
• Tactical Comfort: Breathable lining and flexible structure reduce fatigue during extended use.
• Integrated Ballistic Protection: Ships with Level IIIA soft armor inserts already installed — NIJ 0101.06 tested with multi-hit performance, low backface deformation, and edged-weapon resistance.

This jacket includes integrated ballistic panels. Both the outer shell and the inserts require proper handling to maintain protective performance.

Before Cleaning: Remove the soft armor inserts from their internal compartments before laundering the jacket.

Jacket Shell:

• Machine wash cold (max 30°C).
• Do not bleach, tumble dry, or dry-clean.
• Iron at low temperature if required.
• Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight.

Ballistic Inserts:

• Do not wash, immerse in water, or expose to detergents, solvents, or chemical cleaners — moisture and chemicals can degrade ballistic fibers and reduce protection.
• Wipe with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dust or stains.
• Air dry in a shaded, ventilated area away from heat and sunlight.
• For deep cleaning or inspection, consult a certified ballistic maintenance specialist.

With proper care, your Ballistic Defence Phantom 1.0 Combat Jacket and its integrated ballistic panels will maintain reliable protection and long-term service life.
