VEP LITE
Most protective equipment ends up unused — not because it doesn't work, but because it's too heavy and too visible to be part of an ordinary day.
So we developed it the other way round. 1.3 kg, thin enough to sit flat under a shirt, small enough to live in a backpack or a glove compartment. Certified ballistic and stab protection, developed and produced in our own facility in Slovakia.
Nobody needs to know
Most protective vests are worn on the day someone expects trouble. The problem is that nobody knows which day that is.
VEP LITE weighs 1.3 kg and covers the vital zones — nothing more. It fits under a shirt, adds no bulk, and asks nothing of you. That's the entire point. The vest that protects you is the one you're actually wearing.
Built to be worn.
VEP LITE protects the heart, lungs and stomach with certified soft ballistics — front and back, identically — at 1.3 kg. Thin enough to sit flat under a shirt. Light enough that you stop noticing it before the morning is over.
Ballistic and stab protection in one panel. NIJ IIIA stops handgun rounds up to .44 Magnum, and the same panel is tested for stab resistance to ČSN 39 5360, class TON II. Most concealable vests give you one or the other. In Europe, where a knife is the far more likely threat, that combination is the whole point.
That performance comes from three decades of work. VEP has been manufacturing protective equipment in Slovakia since 1992, using ballistic materials from TEIJIN Aramid, the world leader in soft ballistics. Every panel is made in our own facility.
Most armour is designed to satisfy a specification. This one is designed to be on you when it matters — and that is a harder problem to solve.
33 Years of Experience,
Quality, and Innovation
We are a Slovak manufacturer delivering technical apparel, protective equipment and professional clothing since 1992. Our priority is to combine quality, comfort and maximum functionality, because we believe that life is everything.
We work primarily with TEIJIN Aramid, a global leader in soft ballistic materials, with whom we have been developing increasingly advanced and reliable products for more than three decades. We also collaborate with other renowned manufacturers of ballistic materials.
Over that time we have supplied private security companies, emergency medical services, state agencies and the private sector. Today VEP is a supplier of ballistic vests to the Ministry of Defence of the Slovak Republic.
Certified. Proven.
NIJ IIIA ballistic and TON II stab protection, certified and tested. Developed and produced by a manufacturer with more than 30 years in protective equipment.
European manufacturer
Made in Slovakia. Delivery anywhere in the EU in days — no customs, no container waiting times, no importer in between.
10-year warranty
Ten years of warranty on the ballistic panel. Not a claim about durability — a commitment to it.
EMS
Every shift means walking into situations nobody can predict. Aggression toward paramedics is one of the fastest-growing risks in emergency medicine, and it rarely comes from a weapon you can see coming.
VEP LITE weighs 1.3 kg and disappears under a uniform. It doesn't change how you move, how you kneel, or how a patient sees you — and that last part matters more than any specification.
SECURITY
Twelve-hour shifts. Standing, walking, sitting in a car. Whatever you wear has to be something you forget about by hour two.
At 1.3 kg, VEP LITE covers the vital zones with certified ballistic and stab protection, without the bulk that makes conventional vests something people leave in the locker.
FIREFIGHTERS
You already carry more equipment than anyone. The last thing you need is another layer that adds weight and heat.
VEP LITE is 1.3 kg and sits flat under existing gear. Certified ballistic and stab protection for the moments when the call turns out to be something other than a fire.
POLICE - ALL DEPARTMENTS
Not every duty calls for visible armour. Community policing, plainclothes work, administrative duty, off-duty travel — situations where protection matters but appearance matters too.
VEP LITE gives you certified protection without changing how you're perceived. Nobody needs to know it's there.
CIVIL
Some people are cautious by nature. They carry a first aid kit, keep a fire extinguisher at home, and think ahead about things that probably won't happen.
VEP LITE is built for exactly that mindset. Light enough to wear all day, small enough to keep in a bag, discreet enough that nobody around you knows. We won't tell you when you need it — we've made sure it never stops you from having it.
BUSINESS
Meetings in unfamiliar places. Long drives across regions. Travel to countries where the conditions aren't the ones you're used to at home.
VEP LITE fits under a shirt and jacket without altering the silhouette. Certified protection that stays completely private — because in your line of work, that's the whole point.
TAXI DRIVERS
You never know who gets in. Most nights nothing happens. That's exactly why most drivers wear nothing at all.
VEP LITE is 1.3 kg — light enough that you'll still be wearing it on the night it matters. Ballistic and stab protection certified to European standards.
