NFM GARM Ballistic Underwear: Where Protection Meets Comfort

Thursday, November 2nd, 2023

NFM is looking forward to revealing the GARM™ Ballistic Underwear on the global stage at Milipol 2024 in Paris. This product sets a new standard by offering soldiers dual benefits: unparalleled protection against serious blast injuries and long-lasting comfort for extended wear.

The NFM GARM™ Ballistic Underwear has already proven invaluable in protecting against high-speed secondary fragments up to 200 m/s. Developed by our subsidiary, Hexonia, this technological innovation is the result of a three-year R&D process led by Product Developer Eva Goral.

“This isn’t just another piece of tactical clothing. It’s designed to save lives without compromising comfort. What makes it truly unique is that you wouldn’t know it’s lifesaving ballistic underwear just by feeling it— it’s that comfortable,” says Goral.

Unmatched Comfort and High-Strength Material Blend

Our ballistic underwear not only defends against secondary injuries from blasts, but also such as those caused by IEDs, and integrates materials that maximize wearer comfort. High-performance fibres like silk, polyamide, and elastane are combined to provide both ballistic protection and a snug and comfortable fit.

“The silk has a particularly high strength and feels pleasantly cool on the skin. Thanks to its hydrophilic properties, it absorbs moisture and passes it on to the overlying layers of clothing. As a result, it dries quickly and has a climate-regulating effect,” says Goral.

The unique blend of materials and knitting technology provides;

High ballistic performance: Tailored to protect against high-speed fragments up to 200m/s

Fragment and blast protection: Designed to prevent micro-penetrations that risk infection and soft tissue damage

Enhanced thermal comfort: Low insulation values for better thermal regulation, particularly important for prolonged wear across climates.

Hexonia utilizes cutting-edge circular knitting machines to produce almost seamless torsos, minimizing skin irritation and increasing protective integrity.

“The absence of seams significantly enhances explosion protection, as seams are often the weakest points in a protective system,” says Goral.

Get Hands-On Experience at Milipol 2023

NFM GARM™ Ballistic Underwear will be showcased for the first time at Milipol 2023 in Paris, at the NFM booth 5D 083 between November 14th-17th.

The NFM GARM™ Ballistic Underwear will be integrated into NFM GARM™ Combat Clothing standard line and consists of a shirt and pants available with both short and long sleeves and trouser legs, fitting the unique requirements of individual operators. Available in the NFM colours Rapture Green and Raven Black.

DNS Alpha Shows Solidarity with GORE-TEX Products “Proudly Made in Ukraine”

Monday, October 23rd, 2023

20.10.2023, Stuttgart – Rather than being deterred by challenges, DNS Alpha has maintained its production sites for many of its GORE-TEX products in Ukraine. This strategic move serves not only economic interests but also aims to provide support to the people and the country. Every GORE-TEX product made in Ukraine now proudly bears the label “Proudly Made in Ukraine”.

More Than Just a Patch

The design of the patch is also noteworthy, which the Ukrainian producer consciously chose: “In the colors blue and yellow, it represents the borders of Ukraine as they existed before the occupation,” explains Tim Vetter, Managing Director of DNS Alpha. Beyond indicating origin, the patch also symbolizes Ukraine’s enduring integrity and sovereignty amidst current challenges.

Solidarity in Action

“By manufacturing our GORE-TEX products in Ukraine, we are sending a clear message of solidarity. We are proud to have successfully kept production in Ukraine, as it was important for us to show support in this way,” adds Tim Vetter. “In a time when actions speak louder than words, we at DNS Alpha are making a clear statement with our approach.”
