“…The most superior and inferior points of essential side medical coverage (anterior axillary fold to aortic bifurcation) for front and rear plates can be related to the anthropometric landmarks of the suprasternal notch and upper border of the iliac crest, respectively 3. Anthropometric surveys of Armed Forces personnel have the potential to provide data to size and scale body armour to an individual 4–8. The largest and most comprehensive anthropometric study of UK Armed Forces personnel to date was undertaken by QinetiQ, and measured 2159 male subjects, of which 1395 were Caucasian and 924 of these were Army or Royal Marine personnel 6.…”

“…One method of determining the optimal coverage that should be provided by personal armour is to use anthropometric landmarks. These landmarks are stable locations on the human body that are used to delineate the linear measurements required in anthropometry 4–6. These landmarks are also important for accurate sizing and fitting of personal armour 2 4.…”

“…The larger belt suited people with waist circumferences ranging from 96.5 cm to 130.2 cm. One band was made to provide feedback on the ankle, based on the range of anthropometric measurements found in over 90% of the population (based on an anthropometric survey of 200 British Royal Air Force and Royal Navy aircrew, ranging from men's first percentile score to men's ninety-ninth percentile score); the circumferences of the lower leg immediately above the ankle bones ranges from 19.5 cm to 25.2 cm, the dimensions accommodated by the ankle band [53].…”
