Perfect balance of weight, fit, and functionality

At NFM we understand that true protection goes beyond ballistic defense. That’s why we have made it our mission to develop protection that is lightweight and comfortable, ensuring constant protection.

The THOR™ MCVS-LW is engineered with this principle in mind, offering a perfect balance of weight, fit, and functionality for military and law enforcement personnel. The THOR™ MCVS-LW is designed with a core focus on reducing unnecessary weight while maintaining optimal performance.

The MCVS-LW shaves off close to 500 grams in comparison to an equal configuration of the MCVS 3.0, offering an exceptional blend of lightness, fit, and functionality.

The THOR™ MCVS-LW delivers unmatched comfort and modularity without compromising on its lightweight design, making it an ideal choice for diverse operational environments.

Our mission at NFM has always been to provide the best possible protection and solutions for those who serve on the front lines. The THOR™ MCVS-LW is a testament to this commitment, offering unparalleled weight efficiency and quick-drying capabilities without compromising on ballistic protection.
