Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007046863A2] Body armor to be worn on the torso of a person includes a front section having ballistic paneling therein and a back section having ballistic paneling therein. The body armor further includes at least one side closure mechanism including a rearward section adapted to be grasped and pulled in a forward direction around the side of the torso to close the closure mechanism. The rearward section is in operative connection with a forward section of the side closure mechanism so that a portion of the ballistic paneling of the front section moves in a rearward direction around the side of the torso of the person when the rearward section is pulled in a forward direction and overlaps a portion of the ballistic paneling in the back section when the closure mechanism is in a closed position.
