Soft body armor Level IIIA refers to a specific level of protection defined by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) standard, which sets the standards for ballistic resistance in body armor. Level IIIA is the highest level of protection offered by soft armor and is designed to protect against various handgun threats.
Here are some key features and characteristics of Level IIIA soft body armor:
-
Ballistic Protection: Level IIIA soft body armor is designed to provide protection against most standard handgun rounds, including 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP, as well as lesser caliber rounds. It can also offer partial protection against some higher velocity rounds like .357 SIG and .44 Magnum.
-
Construction: Level IIIA soft body armor typically consists of multiple layers of woven or laminated aramid fibers, such as Kevlar or Twaron, or other high-performance synthetic materials. These materials are known for their excellent strength-to-weight ratio and ability to absorb and distribute the energy of a bullet impact.
-
Weight and Flexibility: Soft body armor is lightweight and flexible compared to hard armor plates. This allows for increased mobility and comfort for the wearer. Level IIIA soft armor is generally less bulky and more concealable, making it suitable for undercover law enforcement officers or individuals who require covert protection.
-
Coverage: Level IIIA soft body armor provides protection to vital areas of the body, including the chest, back, and sometimes side panels. The coverage can vary depending on the specific design and style of the armor.
It's important to note that Level IIIA soft body armor is not designed to protect against rifle rounds or armor-piercing ammunition. For protection against rifle threats, higher levels of armor, such as Level III or Level IV, which typically incorporate hard armor plates, are required. It's crucial to select the appropriate level of protection based on the specific threat environment and the needs of the user. Additionally, proper fit and regular inspection of body armor are essential for maintaining its effectiveness.

Great Vest
Got issued this vest, sent in my size and they were able to make it exactly to the measurements provided. Overall happy with the vest, its weight, movement and breathability. Armor insert is rather thin and lightweight, no idea on the hard armor inserts as we were not issued those yet, but the vest does have pockets for them. Fingers crossed we get rifle plates as well
