MSA Announces the Paraclete Special Operations Modular Vest Light


Untitled Document

Pittsburgh, Pa.– The MSA Paraclete Special Operations Modular Vest Light (SOMVL) is a lightweight, modular vest that is easy to don and doff. It holds soft armor panels and e-sapi plates, and offers adjustability and interchangeability to maximize user comfort.

The SOMVL is a tactical armor system designed for special operations personnel, SWAT teams, bomb squads, FEMA response teams, and state and federal officers.

Applications for the SOMVL include heightened security postures, patrol officers responding to active shooter-type scenarios, officers deployed in military-like environments, airport special response teams, maritime special response teams and SWAT medics/doctors.
