Militech M-78 Revised Personal Armor

Militech has used advanced polymer technology to create a new generation of personal armor which is not quite as tough as other armors available on the market, but which is not susceptible to standard armor-piercing rounds and edged weapons. The drawback is that, in order to achieve the same degree of overall protection as other armors, more layers must be worn. The maximum single layer SP is 14.

This has limited popular versions of this armor to three models: a T-shirt (SP 7, EV +0), a jacket, (SP 14, EV +1) and a heavy vest (SP 18, EV +2).

(If layered under other armor, the T-shirt becomes EV + 1.) The advantage is that all of these items stay at full resistance vs. armor piercing bullets and bladed weapon attacks. This armor is popular in situations where police and troops expect to face knives or AP bullets. A variety of styles and patterns are available, and Militech has sold the armor to designer clothing manufacturers for use in the latest upscale protective-wear.
