Frequently Asked Questions About UL NIJ Ballistic Tested Plate

  • Why is armor sold in plates?

    ANSWER:

    Originally, armor was quite heavy and difficult to maneuver. On the other hand, it is considered a necessity to protect vital organs that are located in the thorax and chest area. To take advantage of its strength while giving it mobility, armor is provided in “plate carrier” vests. Worn by the military and police, the vest allows law enforcement personnel to swap out armor plates as needed.

  • What are the different levels of plates?

    ANSWER:

    The National Institute of Justice establishes the body armor standards, as well as informs customers on what kind of body armor and protection they are getting. An example is the the Level III armor, which can stop some rifle rounds like the 7.62 x 39. Pistol rounds up to and including 0.357 Magnum can be stopped by Level IIIA armor.
