HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR BULLETPROOF LEVEL Choosing the correct bulletproof vest, helmet or backpack can often be very challenging. The truth is, a lot of companies are going to lie to you. So, what should you look for when getting a bulletproof product? There are only three "levels" of body armor that we recommend.



3A (IIIA) level is the least amount of protection you should consider. Our IIIA bulletproof vests and inserts will stop shotgun slugs, 9mm, .44 mag, .40 cal, and other lesser ammunition. IIIA is the lightest and the cheapest of the three, and it can come in hard or soft body armor.



3 (III) is a step above IIIA and can stop more types of bullets from assault rifles. ie AR-15, AK-47 and sniper rifles. Level III bulletproof inserts and panels come in hard body armor and can stop all the bullets that IIIA can, plus; 5.56 NATO, .308, 30-30, 7.62 and more.



4 (IV) body armor is the highest and most capable armor panel available anywhere in the world. It will stop all of the ammunition that III can, and it will also stop armor piercing and armor piercing incendiary rounds from many weapons, including 5.56, .308, 30-30 and greater.
