Our products are tested to meet the quality and safety standards set by NIJ. The NIJ ballistic resistance standard classifies body armor based on the level of ballistic performance. For any level of performance, the NIJ test protocol requires that bullets do not perforate the vest and the vest protects against blunt trauma
