D.A. Protective Pad Inserts are lightweight, low-profile protective pads designed specifically for the Vanguard combat uniform – offering an alternative to external protectors. Perfect when mobility, low visibility, and fast response matter, but you still want essential joint protection.
Made from lightweight neoprene foam, the pads absorb minor impacts and cushion ground contact. Their thickness is optimized for unrestricted movement – no stiffness when kneeling, crawling, or bracing.
Just slide them into the internal knee or elbow pockets of the Vanguard pants and combat shirt – no extra straps or adjustments needed, and no change to the profile or fit of the uniform.
