Taxi

Attacks are rising. Your vital organs, protected.

You never know who gets in. At night, alone, with cash on board. The VEP LITE protects heart, lungs and stomach, front and back, even seated behind the wheel.

What matters
is protected

Most nights stay quiet. That is exactly why most drivers wear no protection. The VEP LITE is light enough to wear on the night it matters too.

It concentrates protection on the vital organs. Because the panel is identical front and back, it also protects where the driver seat alone stops nothing: from behind.

  • Heartcentred behind the breastbone, fully covered
  • Lungsboth lungs in the central area
  • Stomachupper stomach area
  • Backidentical panel at the back, against attacks from the rear seat

Made for
night shifts

02

Under shirt or jumper

Lies flat on the body. For passengers, nothing changes.

Colour

Unseen
at the wheel

Plainly statedNIJ IIIA is a protection level against handgun ammunition. The VEP LITE does not protect against rifle ammunition and only protects the area it covers.
