CONGRATULATIONS!You have just received one of the most modern, sophisticated and versatile tactical vests available in the market today from PROTECH Tactical®. This comprehensive owner’s manual provides you with the tools to help you understand how each component of your tactical vest works together to create a comprehensive individual protection system.

At PROTECH Tactical®, we eat, sleep, and breathe armor and we pursue our obsession to offer the equipment that will help keep you safe during any operation. Whether you’re ending a hostage standoff or breaching a door, we’re with you, offering the finest, most advanced protective gear available anywhere in the world. From vests, to plates, to helmets, shields and more, the name PROTECH Tactical® is your assurance you are protected by the best there is.

INITIAL VEST INSPECTION & ADJUSTMENT/ PROPER FIT REQUIREMENTS

It is imperative that you inspect and adjust your new tactical vest to ensure you not only have the correct fit, but also that your ballistic protection is situated on your body the way it needs to be.

Please take the time and follow the steps below to properly inspect, adjust, and fit your tactical vest.

Step 1 – Inspect Received ContentsReview the enclosed packing slip ensuring all components of the vest are accounted for – including optional accessories. Additionally, inspect the contents of the box to ensure all components are free of any manufacturer defects. Please check all packages for shipping damages and correct content upon immediate arrival of the product. All claims and damages incurred in shipping must be addressed within 48 hours of receipt. All other initial claims must be made to our company within five (5) business days.

Step 2 – Proper Orientation of Ballistic PanelsEnsure proper insertion of the carrier’s ballistic panels (including ballistic shoulders or side inserts – if applicable) by checking that the STRIKE FACE label is facing AWAY from the body. Continue to do the same for any optional accessories in which the ballistic panels are removable (yoke, collar, upper arm (bicep) and groin – if applicable)

Step 3 – Attach Optional AccessoriesAttach all optional accessories and equipment to the tactical vest

Step 4 – Shoulder Adjustment (If Applicable)First, loosen all straps. Don the vest. The front carrier scoop should be in line with clavicle notch just below the center of the neck. The back carrier scoop aligns comfortably slightly below where the base of the neck meets the shoulders. Adjust the shoulder straps (if applicable) as necessary to obtain this.

*NOTE – If a collar is detachable ensure the top of the collar is situated so the wearer is able to look up and back moving the head backward.

Step 5 – Internal Cummerbund AdjustmentSecure the internal cummerbund around the lower torso by pulling the elastic tight and adhering the hook and loop platforms together. If the vest includes an adjustable version, adjust as necessary to loosen or to tighten fit.

Step 6 – Outer Cummerbund Adjustment – Side ClosureFasten the outer cummerbund with moderate tension ensuring a recommended minimum of a two-inch, front to back overlap on each side of the vest.*NOTE – If the tactical vest features a side ballistic panel, ensure a recommended minimum two-inch overlap in the back and a three-inch overlap in the front.
