CIBV Cataphract
Bulletproof Vest Level IIIA Standard

Durable 500D Cordura laminate

Our KSAV Koursores carrier is made of durable 500D Cordura laminate. Cordura is a highly durable fabric that is resistant to wear, tear, and abrasion. It is also water-resistant and breathable. The 500D designation refers to the fabric’s weight, which is measured in denier. A higher denier number indicates a heavier and more durable fabric.

IRR treatment

The Cordura laminate used in the KSAV Koursores carrier is also IRR treated. IRR stands for infrared reflective. IRR treatment reduces the fabric’s visibility to infrared devices, such as night vision goggles. This is important for military and law enforcement personnel who need to remain undetected in low-light or nighttime environments.

Our NIJ IIIA ballistic panels are manufactured using multiple UD Aramid fabrics, allowing for lightweight yet robust protection that seamlessly integrates into our bulletproof vests. The exceptional Body Armor is engineered to provide defense against a wide spectrum of threats, including:

• 9mm FMJ RN
• 9mm Luger or NATO
• .40 S&W
• .357 Magnum
• .357 Sig
• .45 Gap
• .44 Magnum

With this comprehensive level of protection, wearers can confidently confront diverse ballistic challenges, ensuring their safety and security in any high-risk situation.

Overlapping Side Panels for Increased Comfort, Reduced Bulk, and Improved Protection:  The overlapping side panels help to distribute the weight of the carrier more evenly across the wearer’s chest and back, making it more comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. It also reduces pressure points on the wearer’s body, making the carrier ideal for use in demanding environments.

In addition, the overlapping side panels help to reduce the overall bulk of the carrier. This is because the panels overlap slightly, rather than completely, which reduces the amount of excess material. This makes the carrier more streamlined and less restrictive, and also easier to conceal under clothing.

The overlap creates a double layer of protection in the areas where the panels meet, which provides additional protection against ballistic threat and prevent the ballistic inserts from shifting or moving out of place, even during strenuous activity.

Koursores takes comfort to the next level with strategically placed molded padding on the front, back, and shoulders. Engineered for enhanced wearer comfort, this molded padding not only provides a cushioned feel but also plays a crucial role in promoting air circulation. The thoughtful design ensures that pressure points are minimized, allowing for extended wear without sacrificing comfort. The front and back padding contribute to an even distribution of weight, reducing strain on the wearer, while the shoulder padding adds an extra layer of support. This innovative feature not only elevates the overall comfort of the vest but also enhances air circulation, ensuring that the wearer remains cool and focused in demanding operational environments. Whether in extended missions or high-pressure situations, the molded padding on the Templar’s Gear KSAV – Koursores stands as a testament to its commitment to ergonomic design and user well-being.

LASERCUT FLAP CUMMERBUND ADJUSTMENT is a unique and innovative cummerbund adjustment system that allows for quick, easy, and precise adjustment of the cummerbund. The system is accessed by lifting a laser-cut flap on the center bottom of the back panel. Once the flap is lifted, the user can easily adjust the cummerbund tension using a pair of hook-and-loop straps.

RAPID OPEN CONNECTOR SYSTEM (ROC) buckles are a durable, versatile, and easy-to-use quick-release buckle that is commonly used on plate carriers and other tactical gear. ROC buckles allow for quick and silent removal of gear in an emergency, and are also corrosion-resistant and low profile. Templar’s Gear ROC buckles are a trusted choice for military and law enforcement personnel around the world.

The collar/shoulders with integrated pockets for soft armor inserts in the Templars Gear Cataphract is a critical component of the overall vest system. It provides protection for the neck and shoulders, two areas that are particularly vulnerable to injury in combat.

The collar/shoulders is attached to the rest of the Cataphract vest system using a combination of zippers and buckles. This makes it easy to put on and take off the vest, even when wearing other gear. The pockets are also easily accessible, allowing the user to quickly insert or remove soft armor inserts.

The Templars Gear Cataphract plate carrier is designed to accommodate 10×12″ hard armor plates on top of Level 3A soft body armor. This provides the user with a high level of ballistic protection, while still allowing for good mobility and comfort.
