Body Armour for man and beast

The constantly increasing technical challenges and the apparantly unsolvable problems of upcoming needs have led to the development of a new generation of body armour produced in Switzerland.

 

30 years of experience in industry and textile lead to:

  • Quality: Cooperation with various international test centers as TRL, EMPA, FIA
  • Warranty: Reliability, punctuality, close production sites, Swiss made
  • Development: Continuous progress by constant testing of new textiles and different material by the Formel I.
  • Cut resistance: New quality 'Flexprotex'
  • Blow resistance: According to needs
  • Bulletproof: Low Blunt-Trauma, high flexibility, excellent wearing convenience

Body armour of a modular design principle

International Threat Levels

Due to the vast number of differnt bullets and calibers, the number of threats is endless and therefore absolute protection is impssible. That is why body armour offer a limited protection performance. For easier handling of threat and appropriate protection, so called threat levels were defined. Since the threats vary significantly with geographic location, the threat levels show country specific modifications.

Germany Technical directive, October 2000
USA NIJ-Standard 0101.04
England Ballistic Body Armour Standard
Russia Russian Standard
Austria OENORM S1310

Due to different types of ammunition with different hardness and weight, as well as varying bullet velocities and energy, the country specific threat levels are hardly to compare with each other.
