COVERT SOLUTIONS Covert vests are engineered to the thinnest and most flexible specifications whilst still providing the wearer with proven protection. This allows the wearer to hide the fact that he or she wears a body armour. Unnoticeable to observers, covert vests frequently make use of Outlast® or COOLMAX® fabrics that provide a comfortable temperature over extended periods of use. They are ideal for officers assigned to close protection and/or undercover operations, who may want to conceal the fact that they are wearing body armour.
OVERT SOLUTIONS Intended to be worn over clothes. Overt vests utilize quality outer fabrics and an inner layer of 3D textiles like 3D Spacer fabric. In addition, accessories are easily available via external and internal pockets. Overt vests are most common among law enforcement officers, military and the security services industry.
TACTICAL APPLICATIONS S.A.T. and SIOEN Military have designed a range of tactical vests designed for combat operations and focus on the ergonomic aspect of wear and comfort. Our tactical vests use high performance outer fabrics and 3D textiles inner layer fabrics like 3D Spacer.

R&D and innovation S.A.T. is constantly engaged in R&D and the development of unique and innovative solutions to meet the demands of our customers worldwide, We do this by utilizing and combining the expertise of the Sioen Engineering department with its broad range of textile testing equipment with the years of experience and customer knowledge within our body armour department. S.A.T. can rely on its highly capable and strong innovative R&D department from the SIOEN Apparel division. ‘Protection through innovation’ is the motto off SIOEN. The ongoing research on new materials and technics is resulting in new innovative ideas which will be implemented into the future products from S.A.T. : • Different parameters like weight, flexibility and thickness are always a focus to improve our armour solutions. • A higher comfort and improved heat and sweat management are the objectives on our textile carriers. • The compatibility of the armour solution within the textile carrier will be tested to define the level of comfort of the final product. S.A.T. has recently installed a standardized test circuit to make an objective evaluation by the wearer or the end user. A big strength from SIOEN is the cross functional R&D: new innovation ideas from other market segments (fire fighters, chainsaw protection,..) are taken into account to use as new ideas within the S.A.T. products.
42
R&D
Quality Control ‘Quality First’ is a guideline within S.A.T. While our objective is to save lives, we need to ensure our customers that our products are produced and checked following stringent quality requirements.
Our Quality Control department is fully equipped with a wide range of textile testing equipment. The Technical Department technicians are available to carry out project work and give technical advice about many aspects of fabrics, assembly techniques and production methods.
Our raw materials are continuously checked by the incoming inspection department and during the complete process flow. Each step, from raw materials through the manufacturing process and on to the finished products.
R&D 43
Armour solutions S.A.T. offers a wide standardised range of soft and hard armour inserts. Bulletproof, stab proof and combined protective inserts are available on request which follow all known ballistic standards. Our hard armour plates are available in conjunction with a SIOEN soft armour solution or as a stand alone plate.
In house ballistic development • S.A.T. works with all mayor ballistic suppliers such as DSM, DuPont, Teijin, Ten Cate, Rheinmetall, LBA, ... • In addition to procuring ballistic materials S.A.T. also develops in house a range of ballistic and anti-stab materials at its own weaving department TIS in Belgium. • New armour solutions are developed in our own in house shooting lab that meet all international standards. These test facilities are used for the development of customized ballistic solutions and for conducting regular quality control.

Armour Solutions
Ballistic test
Stab test
Our ballistic laboratory gives us the opportunity to develop ballistic solutions in accordance with various international standards.
In this test, an object (knife or spike depending on the test method), falls down from a certain height, representing an energy level on our armour pack.
Product Certifications and official product test reports The armour solutions developed by S.A.T. are conform to the protective requirements defined by the end user. These requirements are often based on international standards which are issued by standard organizations like the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), Home Office Scientific Development Branch (HOSDB), Vereinigung der Prüfstellen für angriffshemmende Materialien und Konstruktionen (VPAM) , Military Agency for Standardization (MAS)… In order to prove the product conformity of the armour solutions, S.A.T. tests (after several internal tests) the product at notified bodies which are authorised to do so and produce the certificates and official test reports. Our protective inserts are certified by an external notified body as Beschussambt Mellrichstadt - DE), Cranfield university (Cranfield - UK), KMS (Brussels - BE), TNO (Den Haag - NL), Banc National d’Epreuve (Saint-Etienne - FR) amongst others. In this way we always get a third party accreditation that our protective insert performs to the protection level mentioned on the label.
CE Certificate Body armour used by civilians must comply with European Council Directive 89/686/EEC on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and must be CE approved. S.A.T. manufactures a range of CE-approved armour suitable for use by security officers and civilians. The CE marking is a mandatory European marking for certain product groups to indicate conformity with the essential health and safety requirements set out in European Directives. S.A.T. has been one of the first and only manufacturers and suppliers of Body armour who has been able to meet the European Standard and therefore legally sell to civilians to all countries within the European Union.
45
The perfect fit and optimum protection Our body armours have been developed to protect your vital organs via a protective insert that consists out of a front and a back panel. FRONT
BACK
SIDE

To ensure optimal protection you need to have at least 2,5cm overlap at both sides ( 1

). At the front side the
armour needs to cover your body from your clavicular notch ( 2 ) to the belly button ( 3 ).

Our ballistic sets (soft armour solution + knife resistant upgrade) have been tested by a notified body (external laboratory). This way we certify that our packs do not give the rhinoceros effect (bullet perforation, when a metal fragment from the knife protection material is pushed through the ballistic package). Female solution SAT has worked out on the NIJ IIIA-solutions the special female shape which has been separately tested at notified bodies to the related NIJ IIIA-standard. We based our design on a special construction where the ballistic materials are not cut or sewn in order to keep their strength on all positions from the front panel of the person who will wear it.
