== Overview ==
=== Construction ===
The M24 vest consists of several different layers of protective material, these include an outer layer of ballistic nylon, and an inner veneer of carbon nanotubes, kevlar-diamond weave, and high-modulus polyethylene; this gives the system strength and keeps overall weight and bulk low enough to not limit a soldier's range of movement, while also providing a reasonable degree of protection against conventional small-arms fire upto and including .30-caliber rifle rounds.
The vest is available in a number of different colors, with the most commonly seen being grey (Army), tan (Marine Corps), and black (New Mombasa Police Department).
== History ==
