Medic/Dog Handler Shield

General Description:
A lightweight protective shield, especially designed to meet the unique requirements of the Medic or Dog Handler in a riot situation. The forearm loop allows the shield to be retained while leaving both hands free to use other equipment built with an integral shoulder strap to aid carriage when the officer is engaged in their specialised duties.

Construction:
Made from lightweight 1.5kg, strong 3mm thick clear Makralon polycarbonate, the shield offers excellent resistance to impacts, thrown objects and liquids, while giving the user an excellent field of vision ahead.

Handles:

Impact absorption:
The Shield handles are mounted on a foam/aluminium backing plate which significantly reduces transmission of vibration to the forearm and through the handles.
