Body Armour: Women
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what plans he has to procure anatomically specific body armour for female service personnel.
- Answer
-
Our VIRTUS body armour has eight different sizes of Scalable Tactical Vest and three for the frame. It can therefore be configured in a multitude of ways dependent on the size and shape of the wearer.
Studies are continuing which explore further options for body armour that comes in different sizes and shapes in order to optimise the fit and reduce physical burden on all users.
