Italian to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Military / Defense / clothing | | Italian term or phrase: anti scheggia | This is talking about a combat suit. I can't think how we say "anti scheggia":
Secondo strato: anti shock pesante, *anti scheggia* con parti fino al IIIA.
thanks for any help!
