SVIII

The SVIII Corrections Body Armor System is purpose-built for corrections professionals operating in challenging environments where both blunt-force trauma and edged or spike threats are present. Built with a durable 500-denier nylon outer shell, this vest offers resilience under heavy use and high stress. Its side-opening design enables the wearer to don and remove the vest quickly, making it well-suited for the dynamic and rapid-response demands of correctional facilities.

Fit and ergonomics are prioritized: a versatile shoulder strapping system and internal fasteners ensure secure weight distribution across a range of body types. Coverage and customization are extensive: a removable throat protector, split collar design for improved helmet interface, upper-arm protection via biceps panels (with dedicated plate pockets), and a side-closure pocket sized for 6″ × 8″ stab plates all contribute to enhanced protection. The front and back use NIJ 0115.00 certified stab panels to meet rigorous standards, and the Spike Level 3 panel suspension system adds a further layer of reliability by preventing internal movement of panels.

Incorporating both blunt-trauma and edged/spike protection, the SVIII empowers corrections officers with robust, custom-fit gear engineered for extreme-response applications.
