Advanced protection and carrying systems
Through a perfect synergy of ballistics expertise and Hexonia’s decades of textile expertise, the NFM Group develops advanced load-bearing and protective vest systems. Our modular systems provide soldiers and police officers with top-tier solutions for a variety of operational scenarios.
Maximum protection and efficiency in the field
With the clear goal of protecting those who work to keep us safe, we develop tactical vests and carrying systems that offer maximum protection and efficiency in the field. The modular design of our systems enables a wide range of functions:
- Loadbearing function
- Ballistic protection against firearms and fragments
- Blunt weapon protection
- Variable protection area: partial body protection up to protection of the entire torso, flanks, lower abdomen, thighs, and upper arms
- Over- and under-worn protective vests
Police
THOR First Entry Protection System (F.E.P.S.)
THOR First Entry Protection System (F.E.P.S.) is a ballistic protection and load-bearing system specifically designed for police special forces. Its 360-degree protection concept, featuring soft and hard ballistic elements, protects the entire torso while offering optimal freedom of movement.
Depending on requirements, the system can be equipped to meet the protection classes VPAM 6, VPAM 7, or VPAM 9. The system can be expanded with standalone protective elements corresponding to protection class VPAM 6 for the upper arms, thighs, abdomen, and lower abdomen.
THOR First Responder
THOR First Responder is a ballistic plate carrier system that is easy to put on and can become a lifesaver in unexpected dangerous situations.
Its design covers a particularly large protective area, shields all vital organs and ensures a high degree of mobility.
High-performance protective elements for the abdomen, lower torso and throat can be easily added. Its compact pack size and intuitive usability make it the ideal companion in any patrol car.
THOR Operational Vest
Our THOR Operational Vests meet the requirements for protection, construction and ergonomics set out in the 'Technische Richtlinie Schutzweste'.
Equipped with our certified SKJOLD soft ballistic panels, they provide protection against short and blunt weapons. The Operational Vests are easy and intuitive to use, offer freedom of movement and comfort and, as an overt vest, allow for the modular attachment of tactical pouches and equipment.
High-performance materials make the textile shell extremely durable and provide protection against flame exposure.
Military
THOR Modular Combat Vest System (MCVS)
A scalable system designed for maximum operational efficiency and continuously optimized in collaboration with users - that is THOR MCVS.
Configurable as a carrying system, plate carrier, or over-vest, the system combines an exceptionally lightweight construction with an ergonomic design, offering optimal protection and functionality.
THOR™MCVS is part of the Full Spectrum Protection approach and allows for the integration of SKJOLD body armor as well as seamless integration into GARM clothing systems.
THOR JTAC Plate Carrier
The THOR JTAC Plate Carrier is a mission-oriented plate carrier designed for Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs) and tactical forces who require a protected, webbing-compatible, and highly modular load-bearing system.
Developed in collaboration with leading providers of air-to-ground command and control systems and tested in the field through multiple iterations by special operations forces and air-to-ground units, the THOR JTAC Plate Carrier offers operational flexibility, low weight, and ergonomic load stability.

ERGONOMICS
More protection and comfort
A protective vest system that conforms smoothly to the body not only ensures greater comfort and freedom of movement, but also provides seamless coverage. Our developers from the THOR protective vests and SKJOLD ballistic body protection divisions create advanced protection systems that adapt perfectly to the user’s body.
MODULAR DESIGN
For flexibility in the field
THOR features quickly adjustable protection and loadbearing systems that allow users to create customized configurations that optimize both weight distribution and freedom of movement. Thanks to their modular architecture, components can be added, repositioned, or removed to achieve perfect balance and performance in any operational role.
- Easy access to pockets increases the end user’s operational speed and performance
- Extensive cable management options for in-the-field connectivity
- Expands or reduces the area of protection depending on the mission or threat profile
- Maintains consistent ergonomics regardless of configuration
- Compatible with SKJOLD ballistic components for seamless integration
