  1. Female Improved Outer Tactical Vest (IOTV)

  2. System Description The Female Improved Outer Tactical Vest (IOTV) is a variant of the IOTV GEN III designed through a joint effort between Product Manager Soldier Protective Equipment, the Natick NSRDEC Anthropometry Team and the Natick Design Pattern and Prototype Team. The sizing system for the female IOTV accommodates approximately 90% of the female population across eight new sizes. The vest incorporates design changes that are more form-fitting and allow additional adjustability to female Soldiers.

  3. Improvements & Capabilities The base Female IOTV provides several fit improvements for the female Soldier while providing the same high level of ballistic protection against conventional fragmenting munitions and 9mm handgun rounds that is provided by the standard IOTV. The vest also provides additional protection against rifle threats when combined with Small Arms Protective Inserts (SAPI) and Side Ballistic Inserts (SBI). Yoke and Collar Assembly designed for compatibility with a hair bun Improved Quick Release System Narrower Shoulders Darting for more secure fit Front Ballistic Plate Insertion Additional Cummerbund Adjustability Shorter Length to better fit female torso
