Protection levels
Our bulletproof vests are standardized and certified according to National Institute of Justice, abbreviated NIJ. NIJ is internationally regarded as the most accepted standard. The standard covers protection against small arms to heavy automatic weapons and everything in between. The NIJ standard is expressed in Roman numerals, whereby generally the higher the figure, the higher the protection. Below is an overview of the USA NIJ 0101.06 standards used with the associated protection from level IIIA(3A). Our NIJ level 0101.06 IIIA panels are also splinter-resistant (STANAG 2920).
