1. There are many Bullet Proof Lifejackets in the market,
what's so special in your Lifejacket?
1. It's very good and was developed to save lives of highly trained
soldiers.
2. It's a system, you can use
the same panels in the Lifejacket and Bullet Proof Vests - this saves money.
3. It's
extremely comfortable to wear due to the flexible polystyrene balls.
4. It turns unconscious face
automatically upwards - ask the competitors how their Lifejackets behave.
5. You actually
can jump from the ship to the water without endangering your health.
6. Bullet Proof Panels are of the latest design and extremely good.
7. We can
make easily the Lifejacket according to your special needs.
8. The positive buoyancy is so great
that you can take a lot of stuff with you (pockets can be made according
to requirements)
and still the face is turned upwards.
9. It's not fancy looking, but made to do the job. IT
IS UNIQUE.
2. Is the construction of the Lifejacket - I mean the polystyrene balls - durable?
The basic construction of the Hokka Lifejacket has been used by the Finnish Navy
for years and no major troubles have been encountered.The special balls were developed in
Finland and do not rotten, burn, wet nor shrink, they are also resistant to oil.
3. How does Kevlar® and water mix together?
They don't. I f Kevlar® gets wet, the protection level is dropped. You
can put the Kevlar® panel to e.g. a plastic bag in order to quarantee
the watertightness, but then the problem is the moisture by condensation. Our Panels are
in a specially made waterproof and breathable bag. The outer cover of the bag is
waterproof and the construction of this special material allows the moisture to evaporate
from the Kevlar® panel. So the Ballistic Panel maintains it's full
protection regardless of the conditions - sea water, rain, sweat etc.
We
can use all the latest ballistic panels: Dyneema®, Spectra®,
Twaron®
etc.
4. What about the AK-47 round?
The standard Kevlar® panels can't hold the 7,62x39 bullet, but
with extra plates they can be upgraded to withstand AK-47 round (even up to .308 AP). BUT
it's a question of your choice: Do you need a medieval knight who is fully protected, but
can't do practically anything OR do you prefer a reasonably well protected soldier (e.g.
shell fragments and 9mm) who still can do the job effectively. It's up to you.
5. Warranty and Maintenance?
Full one year warranty comes without saying and after that nobody can ever
complain about the warranty - we are for the customers. Maintenance kit is available and
local maintenance is easily done. Even local manufac- turing is possible, providing the
quantity is large enough.
6. Why should we purchase your Lifejacket, it's not the cheapest?
Yes, we know our system isn't the cheapest, but we feel it's the
best and most versatile. If you just want to buy a cheap Protected Lifejacket (which
nobody wants to wear), then you'll have to look for other manufacturers models. BUT if you
are looking for the Lifejacket made for the end-user (the sailor/soldier/police etc.) in
mind, then ours is definately the best. It's no use to purchase a Lifejacket that isn't worn, because
"it feels awful". Our Lifejacket can be worn hour after hour ( it's extremely
comfortable - no need to "order" the soldier to wear it) and do the job.
