Ballistic Boot Protector






Number of pieces: 2

Armour material: soft - 14 thick or 34 thin layers of Kevlar

Pouch used: yes

Fastening mechanism: Fastened with 1 strap (4 cm nylon strap with sewn on hook strap which is fastened to sewn on loop strap as indicated on blueprint. Can also add more hook/loop to ensure it will stick to your boot once applied/fastened. Cut off the Damascus FX-1 boot modules when using this boot protector (it is useless and too clumpy anyways).

Size of armour fabric/material - W: 51 cm, H: 23 cm

End note to sizing of pouches: pouches should be +2 cm on each side of the above measurements for those pieces which indicate “pouch”. Also, just skip the interior pouch altogether (an internal pouch made of vinly is usually put inside the outher shell pouch (cordura nylon) in order to easily take out the armour insert in cases where you need to wash the outher shell (Iraq, Afghanistan duty involving a lot of sweat). However, you will not use the equipment long enough to require any washing etc. Keep all ballistic material AWAY from water though as it results in disintegration of the material fabric structure and as such, weakens the ballistic value over time.

 

Sewing tips: for those pieces requiring pouches; it doesn’t hurt to cut the cordura nylon material in even larger sizes. Sew it around the soft/hard armour inserts and just cut most of the excess material with a scissor when you are done sewing. If you plan accordingly you should try to take advantage of an electric sewing machine instead of a handheld sewing machine as this will save you a lot of time. Also, try to acquire heavy duty (thick) nylon thread that is coated with a sticky substance, which will help a lot when sewing with a handheld, manual sewing machine. Always order black for all materials. Try to plan your “armour creating phase” properly so that you order all of the items combined.

Here are some tools/equipment/materials you will need:
