The Path to a Safer Future
Vikela is creating the next generation of ballistic armour focusing on sustainable, lightweight and comfortable protection.
Better for Soldiers, Better for the Planet
Our innovation is manufactured using the latest technology. Vikela armour finds its superior strength from our unique patent pending structure in our material.
75% Lighter
Our smart material enables a lighter stronger body armour.
100% Protection
We can achieve full body coverage.
Fits all body sizes, equally.
Designed for diversity.
Product is 100% recyclable
Vikela armour is made from material that is 100% recyclable.
Current body armour is working against military personnel.
01
10kg is too heavy.
Imagine carrying a car tyre on your back in 40°C for 10 hours. As well as up to 44Kg of extra kit
Why we need to change
One size does not fit all
The military have become diverse, body armour has not. Female personnel have an increased risk of injury.
02
11% of the body is protected
It is unacceptable that 89% of the body is exposed to injury.
