OTAMAN GEN4 V1+ Class 6 Body Armor with Extended Protection Area, Color Multicam
Combine your equipment, save money and be ready for anything.
The OTAMAN Gen4 V1+ body armor is a vest with an increased protection area covering the entire body. The weight of the vest is 7.4 kg. The relatively high weight is due to the expanded Class 2 ballistic protection area according to DSTU standards.
Protection class of the vest in the basic V1+ configuration is Class 6 according to DSTU. This protection class provides defense against fragments, ricochets, and automatic weapon fire.
The set includes an enlarged plate carrier, front, back, and side protection, and 4 hard pouches for magazines, as well as ceramic Class 6 armor plates.
The vest can also be upgraded with larger Class 6 plates measuring 27×35 cm (XL), since the standard configuration includes 25×30 cm plates.
This vest is suitable for both large men and slimmer individuals.
How to choose your size:
Size S/M — suitable for people up to 175 cm tall, with a chest circumference of 50–170 cm.
Size L/XL — suitable for people above 175 cm tall, with a chest circumference of 60–180 cm.
Don’t worry — the vest can be easily adjusted to fit any body size.
Main advantages of the vest:
1. Strength:
The plate carrier material CORDURA 1000 — a flame-resistant and ultra-durable fabric, resistant to abrasion (over 50,000 cycles), non-flammable, invisible to night vision devices, and moisture-resistant.
Quick-release system — located on the sides and shoulders, allowing fast removal of the armor in emergency situations and providing medics with quick access to the torso within seconds.
2. Protection:
The increased protection area fully covers the front, side, and back parts of the body, unlike most other body armor models.
3. Comfort:
The vest is designed to distribute weight across the back and abdominal muscles, rather than the shoulders as in most vests.
This allows you to wear it longer and more comfortably, reducing fatigue during extended use.
OTAMAN body armor (Improved Ballistic Vest, Class 2): Developed on the basis of the legendary U.S. Army IOTV combat vest.
This model was specially designed for military operations in Afghanistan, and later used in Syria, Iraq, and by contractors worldwide.
It gained exceptional popularity due to having the largest protection area in the world, which became critical with the advancement of modern artillery.
Interestingly, the IOTV (Improved Outer Tactical Vest) was designed with real combat experience in mind, where mobility and maximum protection were key requirements.
For example, the IOTV is equipped with a quick-release system that allows soldiers to instantly shed the armor if necessary — which can be life-saving during sudden attacks or emergency evacuation.
The OTAMAN vest inherited these advanced technologies, providing not only reliable protection but also high functionality for modern users.
