The OTAMAN Gen4 V4 body armor — is a body armor with an increased protection area for the entire body. The body armor weighs 8.7 kg. The rather large weight is due to the increased ballistic protection area of Class 1 according to DSTU.

The protection class of the body armor in the basic V4 configuration is Class 6 according to DSTU. This protection class provides protection from fragments, ricochets, and automatic gunfire.

The set includes:

• Enlarged plate carrier;

• Protection for the abdomen and chest, back, sides, neck, and coccyx;

• 4 hard magazine pouches;

• Ceramic armor plates — Class 6.

The body armor can also be additionally equipped with Class 6 plates of size 27×35 cm (XL), since the basic configuration consists of plates 25×30 cm.

Fit and adjustment:

This body armor is suitable both for large men and for slimmer users.

Now let’s explain how to choose the right size of body armor for yourself:

Size S/M — suitable for people up to 175 cm tall, with a chest circumference from 50 to 170 cm.
Size L/XL — suitable for people over 175 cm tall, with a chest circumference from 60 to 180 cm.

Don’t worry — the body armor is easily adjustable to any size.

Main advantages of the body armor:

1. Strength:

• Material: CORDURA 1000 — fire-resistant and extremely durable fabric, resistant to abrasion (over 50,000 cycles), non-flammable, invisible in night vision devices, and water-resistant.
• Quick-release system — located on the sides and shoulders, allows quick removal of the armor in emergency situations and gives medics instant access to the torso.

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 design redistributes weight to the back and abdominal muscles instead of the shoulders.
  This provides longer and more comfortable wear without excessive strain.

Design origin:

OTAMAN (Improved Ballistic Vest, Class 1) is based on the legendary American IOTV body armor (Improved Outer Tactical Vest).
This model was developed for military operations in Afghanistan and later used in Syria, Iraq, and by private contractors around the world.

The IOTV body armor became famous for having the largest protection area in the world, which became critically important with the development of modern artillery weapons.

OTAMAN inherited these advanced technologies, providing not only reliable protection but also high functionality for modern operators.
The IOTV quick-release system allows instant removal of the armor in emergency situations — a life-saving feature during sudden attacks or when it’s necessary to quickly leave the danger zone.

Protection class: 6 (corresponds to NIJ IV 0101.06)
Material: Ceramic (Al₂O₃) + UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene)

Our plates have an information label with data about the protection class and have been tested in a laboratory.
