Ballistic panels FI/LA from Pangolin have been developed to provide comprehensive protection against ballistic threats, knives, and spikes, while maintaining an optimal balance of lightness, flexibility, and resistance. Made entirely in France, they are designed for intensive professional use both in uniformed service and undercover operations.

Thanks to their advanced multilayer construction and the incorporation of an integrated trauma pad across the entire surface, these panels provide excellent impact absorption with a slim, comfortable profile, ideal for prolonged wear and demanding operational scenarios. (Includes front and rear panel)

The FI/LA NIJ IIIA panels are available for preorder, with an estimated delivery time of approximately 4 weeks. It is compatible with the Sentinel and Aegis vest carriers from Pondetac Hispania.

The PROFLEX™ model offers an optimized solution for users exposed to hybrid threats, combining:

• Flexibility and stab protection from the FLEX™ range
• Cost optimization inspired by the X-PRO™
• Reduced thickness for comfortable, discreet wear
• Recommended for undercover service, private security, and close protection
