Tatou Armor · Made in Canada

Fold Shield FGS™

Fragmentation Guard System

The Tatou Armor Fold Shield FGS™ is a rapidly deployable flexible armor system engineered to extend protective coverage beyond the conventional plate carrier.

When deployed, the system provides additional coverage for the lower abdomen, pelvic region, groin, upper thighs and buttocks. Depending on the wearer's position and attachment configuration, the Fold Shield can also provide valuable rear lower-body and posterior pelvic coverage.

HG2 / Level IIIA Fragmentation Protection Buttocks Protection Rear Lower-Body Coverage Made in Canada

Protection beyond
the plate carrier.

Conventional body armor primarily protects the vital organs of the upper torso. The Fold Shield FGS™ extends the protective envelope downward and can be positioned to protect vulnerable lower-body areas frequently exposed to fragmentation.

01 / BALLISTIC

Flexible IIIA Protection

Equipped with Tatou Armor flexible soft armor designed for HG2 / legacy Level IIIA ballistic threat performance.

02 / FRAGMENTATION

Fragmentation Coverage

Designed to provide additional protection against fragments, shrapnel and secondary projectile hazards encountered in operational environments.

03 / REAR COVERAGE

Buttocks & Rear Protection

The shield may be positioned toward the rear to increase protection of the buttocks, posterior pelvis and upper rear thigh area.

04 / DEPLOYMENT

Rapid Deployment

Compact when folded and rapidly deployed when increased lower-body coverage is required.

Extended protection zones

Protect the areas
traditional armor leaves exposed.

The FGS™ is designed as an adaptable extension to existing body armor. Its positioning can be adjusted according to mission profile, threat direction and user requirements.

Lower Abdomen Additional frontal coverage below conventional torso armor.

Groin & Pelvic Region Extended protection for vulnerable lower-central body areas.

Upper Thighs Large deployed surface provides additional proximal thigh coverage.

Buttocks Protection Rear-positioned deployment can provide additional coverage over the gluteal region.

Posterior Pelvic Protection Helps extend the protective envelope around the lower rear pelvis.

Rear Lower-Body Coverage Provides adaptable rear-end and upper rear-thigh coverage when configured toward the back of the wearer.

Military-grade construction

Built with
premium materials.

The carrier combines military-grade textile construction, flexible soft armor and thermal insulation in a compact, mission-adaptable configuration.

Outer Carrier Brookwood® Westridge 500D NIR

Durable military-grade fabric selected for abrasion resistance, field durability and reduced near-infrared signature properties.

Ballistic Component Tatou Armor Flexible IIIA / HG2 Panel

Flexible soft armor construction providing ballistic and fragmentation protection while allowing the system to fold into a compact configuration.
