Israel Weapons Industries (IWI) recently unveiled a riot protection suit for security forces that absorbs kinetic trauma and reduces and diverts the transfer of a blow to the body. IWI manufactures small arms for the military and law enforcement agencies.

The Ramat Hasharon-based company said its gal versatile protective suit (VPS) is designed for protecting forces while maintaining public order. The lightweight, wearable protection system can be adapted to all scenarios, a news agency reported.

VPS includes a vest, and arm and leg protectors, and is “the most lightweight protective suit,” IWI said in a statement, adding that the design enables users from small to large sizes to wear it.

“The system is also covered with an anti-abrasion material or with flame-retardant material, according to the customer’s needs. Together with the bulletproof and anti-stab ultralight vest and ultralight ballistic helmet, the GAL VPS is the most up-to-date, versatile protective suit available today,” stated the company.
