Osprey Mk 5

Standard combat armour for most European Federation infantry, Osprey provides hard protection over all vital organs through the use of ceramic inserts and additional kevlar reinforcement, and provides soft protection to the shoulders and upper arms. Through the use of multiple plates in different pouches throughout the armour, the soldier can maintain a significant degree of mobility. The protection given can be increased by slotting in more protective plates, though the most commonly used ceramic plates provide an acceptable level of protection for their weight, and are able to stop up to 7.62mm NATO at short to mid range.
It is rather similar to the Osprey Mk 4 that preceded it (the vest itself weighting the same at 2kg for the carrier plus 4.7kg for two plates), and includes additional shin, knee, thigh and groin protection (approx 4.04kg) and a prominent ballistic collar. Some soldiers will remove the modular components for less weight and increased comfort, but this practice is frowned upon by officers and usually forbidden. The very same body armor is used by the Special Operations Executive as well, though being special forces they are able to make minor alterations as they see fit. For example, MacKenzie wore his without the shin guards.
Typically issued alongside a Mk8 helmet, Osprey armor is known to be produced in two colors: light grey and olive.
