Protective Equipment
MACH V
Female-Focused Body Armor
Body armor engineered from the ground up for the female form, so protection fits the operator instead of forcing the operator to adapt to the armor.
Selected U.S. Air Force-wide

Aspetto pioneered female-focused body armor for the military, solving the fit, coverage and comfort problems that standard carriers were never designed to address.
Designed for U.S. Air Force Security Forces, the MACH V combines the most requested features of the Aspetto 365 Plate Carrier with Quad Release and the USAF Plate Carrier in one platform built for speed, comfort and agility.
The U.S. Air Force selected the MACH V for every female Security Forces Airman, Air Force-wide.
Chosen by the U.S. Air Force for every female Security Forces Airman.
