What body armor do British soldiers wear?

I recently found out about the incredible Dragon Skin body armor and the whole argument over why US troops don't use it as it is far superior to what they are currently wearing, which is called Interceptor.





I am British and was wondering what British troops wear and how it holds up against these other kinds. I'd like to find out what it's called and how good it is.





Thanks!

Osprey Improved Combat Body Armour. The usual complaint is that it's too heavy, too bulky and restricts movement. But that's what body armor, no matter what kind it is, does.





There's an add-on(?) kit also callked Kestrel for higher protection levels.





Dragon Skin is not as great as it's manufaturers, or the media, want you think it is.





It's not especially superior and fails under a variety of cercumstances that you don't see tested on the television, such as rounds coming in at other than straight on angles (the disks overlap--think about it), and the adhesive that hold them in place fails under extreme temperatures.





Add to that that the manufacturer has misrepresented the certifications of his product--I don't want it.
Reply:the british use the osprey body armour. it was a recent change from the cba. there are alot of complaints about it mostly similar to the u.s. interceptor armor.
