The PGD FRAG Class 4 Stand Alone modern Coyote military splinter-resistant, stab-resistant, and bulletproof vest is rated 3A with limited IRR protection, featuring neck, shoulder, and groin protection against drones and two hard PGD U-line Class 4 SA plates that protect you from rifle bullets, assault rifles, and sniper rifles.
The PGD U-line ESAPI model for marksmen is an excellent choice for those who need maximum protection in high-risk environments, whether for soldiers on the battlefield, security guards, or civilians, protecting against terrorists or saboteurs.
The Multicam camouflage color is also used by the Belgian Army.
The PGD FRAG heavy-duty tactical vest is designed to offer budget-friendly splinter-resistant protection against grenade fragments and 3A ballistic protection against small arms up to .44 magnum according to NIJ 0101.04 IIIA. 360° fragment and bullet-resistant protection is currently the most useful, especially against drone attacks.

Key features of the PGD FRAG tactical vest:
• The shoulder straps have a breaking strength of 1472 kg.
• The laminate is PU-coated, water-repellent, and IRR-resistant (infrared reflective, making you difficult to see in the dark for IR cameras and drones). – Made in Europe (Foxa Oy, Finland) and (Brookwoods Companies, INC., USA).
• Made of 500-denier Cordura laminate, which is 35-40% lighter than traditional MOLLE. This provides optimal freedom of movement for extended wear.
The PGD FRAG is lined with Outlast® PCM (Phase Change Material) technology, meaning the material actively regulates and manages temperature for maximum comfort. Outlast® PCM absorbs, blinds, and releases heat as needed, keeping the wearer cool when hot and warm when cold. This dynamic temperature regulation prevents overheating or cooling and ensures consistent comfort under varying conditions.
This PGD FRAG tactical body armor has built-in front and back pockets for carrying ESAPI hard ballistic plates. For side protection, you'll need to upgrade with a plate bag, which is not included with the FRAG system.

The PGD U-line ESAPI plate is protected all around by a thin foam layer against impact and intensive use, and also prevents bullet fragments from causing injuries to the neck upon impact. The advantage of a ceramic plate is that it stops SS109/M855/M193 and armor-piercing impacts where they would penetrate steel plate. An Anti-Backface Signature line is built into the back of the plate. This provides additional protection against trauma from the bullet impact. The stand-alone plates can also be used without the soft bulletproof packages.
Sizes from S to 3XL
Read our size chart for tactical bulletproof and stab-resistant vests if you're having trouble determining your size. When measuring yourself, it's important to
wear several layers of clothing to determine the correct size. The size is based on your height, so if you are 85 cm tall, we recommend a medium size that covers 90 cm for full 360° protection.
