FULDA, GERMANY (24.02.2025)
Mehler Protection is proud to announce the launch of the Hybrid Waistcoat (HYVE), a cutting-edge personal protection solution designed to meet the dynamic needs of law enforcement and security professionals.
Combining a tailored waistcoat with a fully compatible plate carrier, the HYVE sets a new benchmark for flexibility, efficiency, and operational readiness.
The HYVE offers a modular approach to personal protection, enabling users to seamlessly adapt their gear to changing threat levels.
The tailored waistcoat provides soft ballistic protection and serves as the foundation for the system. When required, it can be upgraded with a plate carrier featuring ballistic plates for both front and back protection. This enhancement can be achieved quickly and independently, without the need to remove or adjust the waistcoat.
Designed with the user in mind, the waistcoat is fully customised to fit each wearer, ensuring a high level of comfort and ease of movement.
Pockets and equipment remain accessible in their original positions, even after the plate carrier is added.
The advanced fastening technology ensures quick and intuitive handling, allowing the wearer to respond efficiently in high-pressure scenarios.
While the waistcoat is tailored for individual users, the plate carrier features a one-size-fits-all design, making it shareable across team members. This compatibility enhances resource efficiency and operational flexibility, ensuring the system is ready to support diverse mission requirements.
With its user-friendly design and swift adaptability, the HYVE ensures that law enforcement and security personnel can transition seamlessly between standard operations and high-risk scenarios.
This innovative solution exemplifies Mehler Protection’s commitment to delivering tactical equipment that aligns with the evolving demands of modern protective gear.
