Main advantages of the OTAMAN body armor:
1. Strength
Material: CORDURA 1000D — fire-resistant and ultra-durable fabric (over 50,000 abrasion cycles), water-resistant, and invisible in night vision devices.
The quick-release system, located on the sides and shoulders, allows instant removal of the vest in emergencies, giving medics rapid access to the body.
2. Protection
The increased protection area completely covers the front, side, and rear parts of the body — unlike most standard body armor models.
3. Comfort
The design evenly distributes weight, transferring the load from the shoulders to the back and abdominal muscles.
This significantly improves comfort and allows longer wear without fatigue.
Origin and inspiration
The OTAMAN body armor (Improved Ballistic Vest, Class 1 DSTU) is based on the legendary American IOTV (Improved Outer Tactical Vest), used by the U.S. Army in Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq.
This model gained recognition thanks to its large protection area, which became crucial with the advancement of modern weaponry.
The IOTV system introduced an innovative quick-release mechanism, allowing the soldier to drop the armor within seconds in critical situations — this feature is fully implemented in the OTAMAN V5.
