ARTICULATED SCALE BACKPAD

US Patents 607274, 6260196 F.A.S. - Floating Armor System

Vanson builds a great backpad. We start with quarter inch closed-cell foam that has been laminated to Velcro-compatible tricot on both sides. This is cut to shape using our water jet. To that we rivet, using nylon medical rivets, custom molded HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) shapes that nest, one partially over the one above it, providing an uninterrupted yet flexible barrier of protection along the center of the backpad.

There are videos on our video page not only of the armor being built, but also of it in action and of a suit dissection to reveal the nature of the protection system.
