SOURCE Tactical Gear has secured a significant contract with the Italian Carabinieri for its female-specific ballistic vests, marking a notable advancement in gender-specific protection solutions across Europe. These vests, designed specifically for women, are now being deployed by various police and military organisations throughout Europe.
This achievement endorses SOURCE's focus on anatomically correct protection for women, a concept increasingly adopted by European armies and law enforcement agencies. In conjunction with this success, the company has released new ACS rapid-access pouches and ACCS Combat Clothing to enhance safety, mobility, and operational performance.
Innovative design and research
The women’s ballistic vests by SOURCE represent a significant step forward in officer protection
The women’s ballistic vests by SOURCE represent a significant step forward in officer protection. They were developed through extensive research and collaboration with numerous active-duty female officers to ensure full ballistic coverage while prioritising ergonomics and comfort. Tailored to fit the female anatomy, these vests feature contours for the chest, waist, hips, and shoulders, along with shooter’s cut profiles and pressed ballistic panels.
This ongoing development includes contoured plates designed to eliminate fit gaps, thus ensuring optimal protection and comfort in various operational scenarios, from routine patrols to crowd control. The widespread adoption by the Carabinieri highlights the growing European trend towards gender-specific protective equipment.
Advanced protective clothing
The ACCS Combat Clothing from SOURCE showcases leading-edge protective textile innovation. This clothing line incorporates ballistic protection zones directly into the fabric, including the neck area, to shield against low-velocity fragmentation while maintaining flexibility. These garments offer flame resistance, durability, and moisture control, with a lightweight, ergonomic fit delivering both comfort and combat-grade protection.
Together with external armour, these uniforms form a comprehensive ballistic defence system, trusted by defence forces such as the Israel Defense Forces, underscoring SOURCE's standing as a reliable military supplier.
Revolutionary pouch technology
Utilised by elite units, the ACS pouches set a new norm in tactical efficiency, reliability, and readiness
SOURCE’s ACS pouches provide efficient access solutions for tactical equipment such as grenades, flash-bangs, and rifle magazines. Following direct feedback from military personnel and special units, these pouches have been MIL-STD-810G tested and feature patent-protected designs.
This innovation significantly reduces draw times and employs advanced retention mechanisms to prevent accidental releases. Utilised by elite units, the ACS pouches set a new standard in tactical efficiency, reliability, and readiness.
User-centric innovation
"Our mission is to translate user feedback into measurable operational advantages," stated Dovik Gal, Marketing Manager at SOURCE Tactical Gear.
"By integrating anthropometric data, advanced materials, and patented technologies, we have delivered equipment that shortens reaction times, improves endurance, and increases personal safety in urban law enforcement missions."
