Swedish term

ytterfodral

Swedish to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion Protective vest
Ytterfodral som främst är avsett att bäras under jacka, tröja eller liknande.

I'm not totally sure of the standard translation of this when it comes to bullet/stab-proof vests. Thaks for suggestions.

Outer layer looks good, as opposed to the whole vest. Thanks.
Åsa Schoening May 11, 2011:
I like "outer layer" and in this reference it is part of the vest: http://www.ehow.com/list_6631276_materials-bulletproof-vests... I also thought of "outer sheath," but perhaps "layer" is just the simpler and therefore the more common term??
Christopher Schröder May 11, 2011:
outer layer? just an idea
Matthew Preston (asker) May 11, 2011:
To add to my initial question, I wonder if ytterfodral could be translated as an "outer sheath"? The ytterfodral is just part of the Skyddsvästa, and as I am translating Skyddsvästa as a protection vest I'm not sure if "outer tactical vest" works?

this might help you find the exact term, "fodral" is translated as box, casing or cover according to Engström 11th edition
