The Mk III flak vest from Pacnorval Defense Systems was a basic defensive jacket.[1]
Description
The jacket was made with light durasteel plates under layered ballistic fabric. The vests were designed to protect against shrapnel and heat and offered a limited protection against direct hits. The flak vests were almost useless against blasters and were rarely seen outside of security forces expecting little resistance and backwater worlds. They were common among noncombatants visiting areas where opposition forces heavily relied on mines, grenade traps, and other explosive devices.[1]
