‘KRECIK’ Concealed Ballistic Vest
KRECIK is a lightweight ballistic vest designed for concealed carry by ASTRIVA, intended for users who require discreet, comfortable and as unobtrusive as possible protection for everyday use.
The vest’s design has been developed so that it can be worn under outer clothing, whilst maintaining a good fit and freedom of movement.
Ballistic protection is provided by flexible K2 ‘Sprężyk’ inserts, whose design allows them to conform to the shape of the body. The inserts have been tested at WITU, including, amongst other things, with 7.62 × 25 mm TT ammunition.
Key features
- Flexible K2 ‘Sprężyk’ ballistic inserts positioned at the front and back of the vest.
- Designed for concealed wear under clothing.
- The inserts’ slim profile and flexibility enhance comfort during everyday use.
- Adjustable straps allow the vest to be tailored to the wearer’s build.
- Durable outer fabric made from Cordura , designed for heavy-duty use.
- The design maximises the protective area whilst minimising the vest’s overall dimensions.
- A simple design without unnecessary external features, ensuring the vest remains as discreet as possible under clothing.
- Available colours: black and red.
- Available sizes: S/M and L/XL.
- Larger sizes coming soon!
The basic version of the vest is supplied as a set with dedicated K2 ‘Sprężyk’ ballistic inserts.
Safety notice
Ballistic protection is provided solely by the K2 ‘Sprężyk’ ballistic inserts contained within the vest. The vest’s outer fabric alone does not provide ballistic protection.
The vest should only be used with the ballistic inserts intended for it, correctly positioned in the pockets and with the side facing the body and the direction of the threat as indicated on the inserts.
Before each use, check the condition of the outer fabric, the adjustment mechanisms and the ballistic inserts. Do not use inserts that are damaged, deformed or show signs of previous ballistic impact.
The vest must be correctly adjusted to the wearer’s body shape so that the inserts are in the correct position and do not shift during use.
The product must be protected from fire, high temperatures, corrosive chemicals and conditions that could damage the material or the inserts. The vest is not a toy and is not intended for children.

Gwarancja Niezawodności: Proces Badań Balistycznych "Biegacz" K2
Quality that protects life
Our covers K2 “Biegacz” with Successfully passed all the tests, meeting the criteria standards PN-V- 87000:2011 and demonstrating a high level of reliability even under extreme conditions of use. Plate deflection was located in the compartment 26—31 mm, which remains below the permissible limit of 45 mm specified in the current standard.
This kind of comprehensive examination is crucial for us — not only as a formal requirement, but as proof of the quality and durability of a product that can decide human life in real conditions.
How do we test K2 ballistic cartridge?
Learn the detailed process of verifying the ballistic parameters of the “Runner” model. From strict legal requirements, to climate tests, to an independent expert assessment of each shot.
Compliance with Standard PN-V- 87000:2011
Before our product reaches the market, it must undergo rigorous ballistic tests, in accordance with the requirements of the Polish standard MON-V- 87000:2011. This standard specifies the test procedures for ballistic shields, classifying them according to their level of protection, and describes in detail the conditions that must be met during testing in order for the results to be reliable and comparable. These tests shall include ballistic resistance tests on a randomly selected group of shields from a given production batch.
Climate and Humidity Testing
Plates K2 “Biegacz” passed 4 series of rigorous trials in an accredited Laboratory of Research of Small Arms and Security Guards WITU. Each test was carried out on independent sets of plates under the conditions of:
Dry conditions — reference samples.
Irrigation simulation — assessment of the effect of moisture on the composite.
Heat up (+50°C) — Imitation of a hot climate.
Cool down (-40°C) — mapping Arctic conditions.
Impact Parameter Control
Each of the tests included 6 shots in precisely defined places on the board, according to the arrangement indicated in the standard, which allows to evaluate both the point resistance and the structural behavior of the shield after repeated firing. The key parameter was the preservation of a strictly defined projectile speed — in the case of the K2 class: 420 ± 15 m/s — with a shot distance of exactly 5 meters.
Methodology and Expert Supervision
A total of 48 shots (7.62x25mm P-shell ammunition) were fired during the tests under controlled test conditions. Each trial was evaluated independently by 2 experts conducting research. The evaluation took into account measurements of the velocity of the projectile and the subsurface depression under the cover formed as a result of the deformation of the plate.
