FIELD: means of personal armour protection.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to a chest load-bearing system designed to place elements of armour protection and equipment on it. The multifunctional protective load-bearing vest contains a chest module, shoulder straps and a back strap. The shoulder straps are a belt, on top of which there is a sling sewn to it at intervals. Inside the belt there is a polyethylene foam seal. The chest module has a main panel and side straps, which are attached to the sling at the ends of the corresponding shoulder straps. On the surface of the main panel there is a top panel and a bottom panel that form pockets. There are textile fasteners on the front surfaces of the top and bottom panels. The back hold contains a back panel and a waist hold. The back panel consists of two sections that form a pocket for inserting armour panels and armour elements. In the upper part of the back panel there is a portable loop and elements for attaching to the shoulder straps with the ability to adjust them in height. On the outer surface of the back panel there are slots for attaching equipment to a textile fastener. At the bottom of the back panel there are slots for connecting to the waistband, which is made of two parts. Each part of the waist hold consists of at least two horizontal rows of multi-layer tapes. Between the layers of tapes there is a polymer material. Each row passes through a corresponding slot at the bottom of the back panel. At one end, the parts of the waist hold are connected to each other with an elastic cord with a lock. The other end is secured to the side of the main panel of the chest module using a textile loop fastener.

EFFECT: performance characteristics of the vest are improved due to the possibility of quickly attaching/removing additional elements and the possibility of placing protective inserts.
