  The main objective of using ballistic protection (such as ballistic vests) is to protect the human body from mechanical damage. In Poland, the requirements for ballistic vests and ballistic inserts are set out in PN-V 87000:2011 Light ballistic armour. Bullet-proof and fragmentation vests Requirements and tests. This standard lays particular emphasis on the quality of workmanship of the vest etc, ergonomics aspects are treated marginally. At the same time, the use of any elements that cover the body affects the process of heat exchange between the human body and the environment, and can cause thermal strain while performing various tasks which can affect the accuracy of user’s actions. Hence it is important to determine the level of their impact on the physiological and psychological reactions of the vest user. In this paper the results of comprehensive ergonomic tests of ballis..
