Subject: RE: army surplus tough cotton combat kilts?
The RBR Combat Kilt was designed for special personal armor requirements.

Providing additional ballistic protection to vehicle turret gunners and other applications, the RBR SF Combat Kilt can easily be attached to the bottom of the gunners vest or to the turret itself giving the additional protection from the bottom of the vest to the knees of the operator.

The Kilt can also be disassembled quickly and used for cover in the event that the vehicle becomes inoperable, and by unfastening the sides the gunner gains foot mobility. The kilt is also designed with a webbing system so that pockets and gear can be easily attached. Handles and webbing tie-downs have been installed on the body side giving the RBR SF Combat Kilt extreme versatility in combat situations.

The SF Combat Kilt is rated at level IIIA ballistic protection (The same armor system as the vest itself) and will defeat a wide range of small arms fire as well as fragmentation from exploding munitions. The RBR SF Combat Kilt can also be used for interior vehicle protection, and is designed with a 10" x 12" pocket on the front to accommodate a rifle protective hard armor plate.

THE RBR Flex IIIA 35 system is the latest development in Tactical Armor. This SYSTEM is designed to give the operator the highest area of coverage without reducing mobility.

Additionally, by not using a Snap Modular Grid system the vest is inherently lighter and the possibility of a steel snap becoming a secondary projectile is eliminated.

The pocket attachment system is Velcro Backed Nylon Webbing compatible with the standard BlackHawk Tactical System, US Military A.L.I.C.E and MOLLE as well as a wide variety of other pockets available throughout the industry for mission adaptable pocket configurations.

Over 100 different pocket designs and configurations are available through RBR Tactical Armor.

The Flex 35 armor system is a ballistic material package that is only available through RBR Tactical Armor, Inc. It is a "shield type" product that maintains the flexibility of a cloth armor system.

Arial density 1.2 lbs. per square foot at level IIIA.
