Israeli company to supply 15,000 ergonomically designed vests, alongside new rapid-access pouches and ACCS combat clothing, enhancing officer protection and operational performance.
SOURCE Tactical Gear, an Israeli provider of tactical protection, hydration systems, and modular load-carry solutions, has won the Italian Carabinieri tender for women’s ballistic vests. IsraelDefense has learned that SOURCE will supply 15,000 vests with ballistic and stab protection, worth a total of €8,685,000, to the Ministry of Internal Security, which also oversees the Italian Carabinieri.
According to the company, SOURCE’s female-specific ballistic vests mark a breakthrough in officer protection.
The vests provide full ballistic coverage while maintaining superior ergonomics and comfort. Purpose-built for female anatomy, they are contoured to the chest, waist, hips, and shoulders, featuring shooter’s cut profiles, pressed ballistic panels, and ongoing development of contoured plates designed to eliminate fit gaps. The result is optimum protection, ventilation, and confident performance in any operational scenario, from patrols and vehicle missions to crowd control.
