Anti-Riot Suits, Protective Gear and Field Clothing
This group covers the personal equipment that protects and clothes officers and specialist personnel in the field. For public-order duty there is a full anti-riot suit that combines 30 mesh polyethylene foam with ABS hard parts over torso, shoulders and groin plus reinforced arm and leg sections, together with separate anatomically shaped arm and leg protectors with built-in shock absorbers. For aircrew and airborne units there are flame-resistant pilot flight overalls and a windproof, waterproof parachute overall rated from -50 to +30 degrees Celsius, and for armed and marksman roles there are leather or synthetic pistol holsters and belts and a full-body sniper camouflage ghillie suit.
Anatomically shaped arm and leg protectors made from spacer material with an external plastic layer and built-in inner shock absorbers, allowing undisturbed movement.
Anti-riot body protection for special police forces and anti-riot squads, combining soft anti-trauma materials such as 30 mesh polyethylene foam with hard plastic parts to shield the body from blows with blunt objects, stings and harmful organic and inorganic chemicals, though not from daggers or crossbows.

Specifying anti-riot body protection
Anti-riot protection is specified by the threats it must stop and the areas it must cover. The suit here is designed for special police forces and anti-riot squads against blows from blunt objects, stings and harmful organic and inorganic chemicals, and its specification states that it does not protect against daggers or crossbows. Soft anti-trauma layers of 30 mesh polyethylene foam combine with hard ABS parts, the arm and leg sections both use reinforced foam-padded nylon or polyester, the arm section adding an inner shock absorber, and the leg pieces connect to footwear by wire.
Overalls, holsters and camouflage for specialist roles
The pilot flight overall comes in flame-resistant aramid or a cotton-synthetic blend to EN 340 and EN 11612:2008 codes A1+A2, B1 and C1, with a two-slider zip, reinforced shoulders, anti-G hose opening, map backing, survival-kit ring and knife pocket. The parachute overall uses windproof, waterproof, thermo-regulating fabric for rapid temperature changes. Leather or synthetic holsters and belts fit all types and calibres of pistol and revolver, and the ghillie set of poncho, sleeves, gloves, stockings, helmet cover, hood, scarf and weapon strips weighs 3.8 or 5.1 kg depending on trimmings.
Questions about this equipment
What sizes are the overalls available in?
Both the pilot flight overall and the parachute overall are listed in sizes M, L, XL and XXL. The sniper camouflage ghillie suit comes in one universal adjustable size, while the anti-riot suit is described as anatomically shaped and adjustable and the arm and leg protectors as anatomically shaped, with no size range listed.
Does the anti-riot suit protect against edged weapons?
No. The suit is specified against blows with blunt objects, stings and harmful organic and inorganic chemicals, and the specification states that it does not protect against daggers or crossbows. Stab or ballistic protection is a separate requirement covered by body armour rather than by this suit.
