The GRID-HERCULES Body Armor Vest (HBAV) by Tacprogear BLACK (TPG) is constructed using GRID-HERCULES engineered material, which is a highly-specialized unique polymer coating applied to an advanced textile fabric specifically designed to enhance physical properties, such as impact, abrasion, heat and flame resistance, as well as tear and tensile strength and is waterproof.
The HBAV design is based off the SPEAR/BALCS shaped platform and is available with either FAT approved military fragmentation soft armor inserts or NIJ 0101.06 certified level IIIA soft armor inserts.
It is designed to hold any of TPG’s new NIJ-certified hard armor plates for front and back rifle protection in a variety of shapes, sizes and material configurations, according to the company.
