Product Performance Testing

Product Performance Testing

Our flagship products have undergone a series of rigorous testing in accordance with the quality and safety standards set by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ). The NIJ ballistic resistance standards categorize body armor into various levels of ballistic performance. At any performance level, the NIJ testing protocol dictates that the armor must not allow the bullet to penetrate, and it must be capable of protecting the wearer from blunt trauma. This demonstrates our commitment to providing reliable body protection products that meet stringent ballistic resistance standards.
