Shrapnel Shorts provide protection to the user's genitals, groin, perineum, and adjacent areas and have pockets in critical areas for ballistic pads that provide enhanced, higher-level protection against fragmentation, shrapnel, dirt, and debris. The carrier is based on a comfortable boxer-brief design that is currently in use by the US Government.
The shorts are comprised of breathable mesh augmented with Kevlar and include two enhanced ballistic pads along the front inner leg to protect the femoral arteries. The pad pockets are easily inserted and removed, allowing the system to be rapidly reconfigured with alternate ballistic solutions. Flat seam construction minimizes chafing and the crotch is constructed to work in tandem with a ballistic groin protector.
- Fabricated with Massif's Breeze(TM) material and Kevlar
- Garment is machine washable with the removal of the ballistic pads
- All materials are Berry Amendment compliant; sewn in the US with US materials
- Ballistic pad construction uses half the ballistic material as validated IOTV ballistic panels
Each system includes 3 pairs of Shrapnel Shorts Boxer-Briefs and 1 set of Ballistic Pads. For more information about Secure Planet's Shrapnel Shorts or to place an order, please call (571) 393-1777.
