Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for protecting a neck of an individual from a threat. In one implementation, a ballistic collar includes a base having a body with a first side portion and a second side portion. A first arm extends along a first longitudinal contour towards the first side portion, and the first arm extends distally along a first contour defined by a first proximal segment and a first distal segment. A second arm extends along a second longitudinal contour towards the second side portion. The second arm extends distally along a second contour defined by a second proximal segment and a second distal segment. Each of the first arm, the second arm, and the base is independently movable relative to each other.

A human interface device is configured to be coupled to a trunk of a person and comprises a frame, a fabric coupled to said frame configurable to be under tensile forces, and a belt configured to be coupled to two side edges of said frame wherein when said belt is worn by said person, an area of said fabric will be pushed against the person's lower back conforming to the shape of the lower back of said person. In operation when said human interface device is worn by said person, the weight of any load coupled to or supported by said frame will be partially supported by the friction force between the area of said fabric which is pushed against the person's lower back, and the person's lower back allowing said person to carry said load.
