Ballistic Blankets they are not all the same, Shaun Ward founder of VestGuard UK tells us more
Bomb blanket
High performance ballistic blankets offer protection and containment against bomb blasts. A lightweight and portable fragmentation containment device Shaun Ward founder of VestGuard UK tells us that this would have saved lives without a doubt in the Kenya shopping mall attacks, Shaun said "they can be easily placed over any object that may pose a threat, or used in many different ways to offer protection in unpredictable and emergency situations. Evacuation from a burning building, emergency school or shopping mall evacuation when a hostile person or persons that mean you or loved ones harm is on the premises, bridging a gap between walls for safe passage, or cover in open areas are just a few uses of a ballistic blanket".
"Its not until you need it, that the construction of a ballistic blanket matters".
Shaun went on to say "Using the latest in ballistic technology, VestGuard construct our blankets to last, we flag stitch each handle and double seam all edges, the ballistic material is heat sealed to make sure no water ingress can happen so therefore no degradation of protection is experienced if the blanket becomes wet. Not all blankets are made this way, make sure you have the right ballistic blanket of the possible treat in your area, if you don't know call VestGuard we can tell you what you will need".
"VestGuard takes the guess work out of ballistic protection, this is when experience counts". Shaun said
"In NIJ Level II(2) and NIJ Level IIIA(3A) protection Levels or can be made to the client requirements. Sizing ranges from 1000 x 1000cm up to 1500 x 2000cm, whilst custom sizing is also available, high grade durable outer covers high strength shoulder straps are to aid
