DESIGN OF BALLISTIC VEST
It’s just necessary to fill in the measurement sheet with the different lengths: measure around the body at the fullest part of the breast and under the arms with empty pockets, waist, measure from the V-notch which is at the top of the breast bone at the base of the neck to the top of the duty belt; and also your height, weight and bra size for women.
New ballistic solution
From all these previous studies and documents, the design of a new ballistic vest consists
in first to delineate the various protection areas, on a virtual 3D dummy.
Then the designed solution must lead to more comfort thanks to the described approach:
To design a correct pattern for woman’s ballistic vest, a virtual 3D female dummy available on the software Design Concept is used to create the sufficient surface to drape the garment on.
The different zones have been delineated to specify the various darts positions (only for the para-aramid fabrics) to conform to the shape of the female body and not to avoid the ballistic protection efficiency.
