DTF Protection NUTCRACKER - a bulletproof crotch and lower abdomen shield that gives you the edge where others end up protecting you
There is no room for compromise on the modern battlefield. Every detail, every piece of weaponry can determine the effectiveness of the action and the safety of the operator. That's why the NUTCRACKER was created - an advanced ballistic panel from DTF Protection, designed to provide real protection for the lower abdomen and crotch area, without sacrificing mobility, comfort and functionality.
It's not just another piece of equipment - it's a conscious decision to increase your chances of survival in the most demanding conditions. When artillery shrapnel, improvised explosive devices or bullets flying right past you become a real threat, the NUTCRACKER gives you that edge that you can't see at first glance, but makes the difference at the critical moment.
Features of the DTF Protection NUTCRACKER crotch and lower abdomen shield:
- Protection against 9 mm bullets (@436 m/s) and shrapnel (FSP 1.1 gr - V50 > 500 m/s)
- Ballistic insert included - certified and ready for use.
- The panel can be easily integrated into the IMPACT vest or any other Plate Carrier vest.
- MOLLE/PALS standard - additional pockets can be mounted.
- Lightweight and comfortable design - for high mobility.
- Discreet, tactical aesthetics - blends perfectly with the operator's tactical equipment.
Lightweight. Reliable. Ready for action in all conditions
While the NUTCRACKER provides real ballistic protection, it remains amazingly lightweight and flexible. As a result, it doesn't interfere with moving, crouching, overcoming obstacles or conducting dynamic operations. It's a solution designed with the operator in mind - by specialists who themselves know what pressure is and how important comfort is in an emergency situation.
The panel covers one of the most vulnerable areas of the body - the low critical point, which is still too often overlooked in protective configurations. Thanks to the modular design and the MOLLE/PALS standard, the user can additionally mount loaders, pockets or pouches on it, without sacrificing additional features of the outfit.
Integrated protection - more than just a panel
DTF Protection NUTCRACKER is a complete protection kit, ready to go right out of the box, and includes:
- Ballistic insert - certified and tested to protect against the most common threats: 9mm caliber bullets (velocity 436 m/s) and shrapnel (FSP 1.1 gr, V50 > 500 m/s).
- Sheath in green (Ranger Green) - discreet, tactical and easy to keep clean.
- Hanger with Velcro - allowing quick and stable attachment of the panel to a tactical vest (such as DTF IMPACT or other Plate Carrier).
The attachment system is universal, which means full compatibility with most available vests with Velcro on the bottom edge. It's a solution that works perfectly with both integrated and modular designs, increasing the protective surface without compromising ergonomics.
