Not only the torso and neck need protection during combat operations — the legs do as well. For this, thigh protection is required to safeguard against fragments, handgun rounds, and ensure safe movement.

Thigh Ballistic Protection Classes

The thighs are a vulnerable area that requires special protection. Damage to the femoral artery or bone can lead to immediate loss of combat capability and even death due to bleeding. Therefore, it is worth considering ballistic thigh protection for military personnel in the form of additional panels that can be integrated into a belt or vest.

You can buy ballistic thigh protection of the following classes from us:

• Class 1: protects against pistols and revolvers of 9×18 caliber, as well as small-caliber weapons, fragments, and secondary shrapnel formed during explosions or ricochets.
• Class 2: tactical equipment designed to protect against 9×19 caliber and 7.62 cartridges, as well as fragments and secondary shrapnel with increased velocity and energy.

The requirements for ballistic protection such as thigh panels are regulated by DSTU 8782:2018. The standard defines ballistic resistance levels, testing procedures for protective equipment, and specifies which threats the protection is rated for.

How to Choose Ballistic Thigh Protection

Before purchasing ballistic thigh protection for a professional soldier, pay attention to the size, quality, and other characteristics that help you choose reliable gear.

When choosing ballistic thigh protection for a servicemember, consider:

1. Protection class: selected depending on potential threats, with Class 2 being optimal for military use.
2. Comfort: thigh panels should not restrict movement, especially during active motion or running.
3. Material: our panels are made of UHMWPE, making them durable, lightweight, and comfortable to wear.
4. Compatibility: check if the protection fits your body armor, tactical belt, or other equipment.
5. Certification: choose protective gear that meets DSTU or international standards.

Note that the price of thigh protection may vary depending on the class and materials used. Class 1 protection can be cheaper because it provides a lower protection level compared to Class 2.
