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.
