Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention provides a ballistic vest, comprising: a front portion configured to protect a front of a torso of a wearer; a rear portion configured to protect a rear of the torso of the wearer; and a cummerbund; wherein the cummerbund is a separate element from the front portion and the rear portion and the cummerbund is configured to form a loop around the wearer; and wherein at least one of the front portion and the rear portion interface with the cummerbund to transfer weight to the cummerbund. Another embodiment of the present invention provides a ballistic vest, comprising: a front portion configured to protect a front of a torso of a wearer; a rear portion configured to protect a rear of the torso of the wearer; and a shoulder pad; wherein at least one of the front portion and the rear portion interface with the shoulder pad to disperse weight applied by at least one of the front portion and the rear portion over a larger area than would be applied in the absence of the shoulder pad.
