Abstract: A lower back support can be configured to attach to a ballistic vest. The lower back support can be configured to endorse true lordosis of the lumbo-sacro region of the spine, cooperate with the ballistic vest to provide passive resistance to forward being of a wearer, and/or enhance proper posture of a wearer. The lower back support can be configured to provide ballistic protection, such as to the lumbo-sacral spine. Thus, discomfort such as lower back pain can be mitigates for personnel such as soldiers and police officers who wear body armor.
