Enhancing Body Armour: The role of Fabric Linings

At Baltex, we understand that body armour is more than just a protective layer - it’s a lifeline. While the focus often rests on external armour plates, the fabric linings play a key role to ensuring that wearers experience unrivalled comfort and performance in the most demanding situations. Here are the five points Baltex is focusing on when supplying fabrics used for body armour linings:

Comfort in Design

Our knitted fabrics provide a soft and flexible lining that cushions against hard armour plates, helping to reduce chafing. This design consideration is particularly beneficial during long missions, allowing wearers to focus on their tasks without the distraction of discomfort.

Enhanced Breathability

Breathability is crucial for maintaining comfort during use. Our moisture-wicking knitted fabrics are specifically engineered to enhance airflow, effectively allowing sweat to evaporate. This feature is particularly valuable for personnel who operate in challenging environments, helping them stay more comfortable during extended wear.

Managing Temperature

Temperature regulation is another important aspect of our knitted linings. These materials promote airflow, which helps to manage heat and create a more comfortable microclimate for the wearer. This is essential for maintaining focus and performance, especially in high-pressure situations.

Odour Control

Hygiene is an important factor in protective gear, especially during extended wear. Many of our knitted linings incorporate antimicrobial treatments to help reduce odour and bacteria build up, contributing to overall comfort and cleanliness.

Durability and Flexibility

The durability of our knitted linings ensures that they can withstand the rigors of use while maintaining their shape and comfort. This resilience supports the long-term reliability of Baltex body armour, making it suitable for everyday demands.
