What is class NIJ IIIA and why is it the right vest for me? NIJ Level IIIA (3A) is typically the highest level of protection for soft armor. It will protect you from a BB gun to a .44 magnum. And this model of Compass Armor complies with NIJ Standard-0101.06 for Ballistic Resistance of Body Armor, welcome contact us for NIJ lab testing report.

Armor Vest is available in six sizes: S, M, L, XL, 2XL, and 3XL. Please use this size chart. Your bulletproof vest size is NOT YOUR T-SHIRT SIZE. Use this height and weight chart to pick the best size vest for you.

Another note on bulletproof vest sizing: Your bulletproof vest needs to fit in one main area: around your navel. The length of the vest is not important as you can use the shoulder straps to adjust it; the important factor to consider is the chest measurement. If you are a thin man with a large belly try to order at the top of your size range so that you can fasten the vest around your mid-section. If you are a competitive cyclist with large legs and a slender waist, order at the bottom of your size range.

What bullets can this vest protect against? A Class IIIA vest can protect against almost all handgun rounds. NIJ IIIA vests are tested with bullets up to a .44 Magnum, which is a really powerful round. This vest will protect against smaller rounds as well. We are quite comfortable in saying that a class IIIA vest will protect you from almost any handgun you will encounter and certainly any handgun that someone conceals. Handgun violence makes up most of the shooting injuries in the US, so this bulletproof vest offers a great level of protection for you.

What won’t it protect against? No vest will protect against every bullet, and a IIIA vest won’t protect against heavy rifle fire without added armor plates. That is why we have extra plate pockets model for you and we sell ballistic plates as well, just in case that you need to upgrade your body armor.
