SwiftClip from Velocity Systems

Friday, August 20th, 2010

Velocity Systems was well represented at the recent TREXPO in Chantilly, Virginia. One of their most interesting new innovations is the SwiftClip attachment system which eliminates the need to wear yet another harness over your armor. Working with Mayflower to develop a way to more rapidly integrate chest rigs as well as other specialty items on to an armor vest or plate carrier, they wanted something system and adaptable to a wide variety of gear and was simple to use. They found it with the SwiftClip which is not only simple, but also provides a stable mounting solution.

The SwiftClip is designed to accept any chest rig or other item with an ITW 1″ male side release buckle. Both Velocity Systems and Mayflower products are Berry Compliant and available in a variety of colors and patterns including the US Army’s new OCP (MultiCam).

Velocity Systems Sneak Peek

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

The folks who brought us the ultra lightweight VS-PBZ Multi-Hit plates are working on an entirely new look. Their new site won’t just give you information on their full line of armor solutions but will also teach you about what types of armor should be used for different applications via the Understanding Armor Q&A Blog.

The new look (and features) isn’t here yet, but should be in place early next week so keep your eyes peeled.

New Lightweight Multi-Hit Plate from Velocity Systems

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Velocity Systems has just released the latest addition to their Phalanx line or armor plates. It is a new lightweight, multi-hit plate that is going to be a game changer. Take a look at the specs and you’ll see why.

7.62 x 39 Armor Piercing Incendiary (API-BZ) Multi-hit
7.62 x 39 Ball, Mild Steel Core Multi-hit
7.62 x 51 NATO Ball Multi-hit
5.56 x 45 NATO M855 Multi-hit
5.56 x 45 NATO M193 Multi-hit
5.45 x 39 Ball Multi-hit

Now, granted, these are in conjunction plates meaning they require soft armor backers (IIIA), but you get all of this in a plate that weighs 4 pounds for a medium. Ok, stop reading for just a sec and let that sink in. Now I am going to repeat myself….4 pounds. Additionally, the ceramic plates are a mere half inch thick and formed in the SAPI shape so you can use them without having to purchase an entirely new carrier.

Yes, that is MultiCam. It’s part of Velocity’s philosophy of “safety measure by design” so you won’t mistake the plate for anything else. To order visit www.velsyst.com.
