Body Armor 101 FAQ:
Can civilians buy or own body armor?

Check your local laws to know whether you are legally able to own and/or purchase bulletproof vests and body armor. Many of our body armor items are restricted for sale only to persons with appropriate permissions.

Is body armor bulletproof?

The preferred term would be bullet resistant. No body armor will stop all types of bullets.

What vest is right for me?

Most law enforcement and private security contracts wear body armor that will protect against the types of weapons and calibers used by their departments on a daily basis.

What size is correct for me?

It is easier for men to find the right size than women. Measurements required vary by brand. The most important piece of advice on finding the right fit for your body armor bulletproof vest is to give accurate measurements to achieve the correct level of comfort and protection.

What is difference between soft and hard body armor?

Soft body armor is easier to wear for extended periods of time and is better for concealed wear. Hard body armor will have more protection, but can get uncomfortable after wearing it for a long time.

What do the levels on body armor mean and which level is right for me?

Refer to the chart of body armor performance standards below for general guidance. Against, body armor and bulletproof vests generally should be chosen to protect against the firearm that you or your department is carrying, as most firearm related incidents occur with the officers' own weapons.
