Load Bearing Vests

Hellweg load bearing vests are designed and made by us, in Australia, so the configuration can be customised, even at low volumes. They can also be fitted with stab or ballistic body armour, including hard armour plates.

Load bearing vest options include:

  • MOLLE mount or sewn-on pouches for all common duty equipment, or custom made where required
  • Removeable hi vis over-vests
  • Custom labels and badges
  • Body worn camera mounts of various types
  • Ballistic body armour or stab proof body armour
  • PFDs
  • And more

All Hellweg load bearing vests come in male and female cuts, sizes from female 8 to male 7XL, plus short, regular, long and extra long lengths, so can accommodate all body shapes and sizes

Hellweg load bearing vests have been trusted by police forces, enforcement departments, hospital security, councils and more for over a decade.
