ProtectAgainst

Unfortunately, there is no bulletproof gear that can guarantee absolute bulletproof protection. However, the vests and plates we provide are meticulously designed to offer a high level of protection under appropriate circumstances, significantly increasing the likelihood of saving your life at the specified protection level.

The NIJ (National Institute of Justice) establishes protection levels, which specify the caliber rounds you're safeguarded against and the corresponding range/velocity. For a thorough understanding of these levels, you can refer to our article on this subject here, or visit the NIJ's website here.

You can buy body armor face-to-face in all 50 states of the US, and in all states except Connecticut, you can purchase it online or over the phone without needing background checks, ID, or permits. However, some states have introduced regulations that restrict the sale of body armor to law enforcement officers, government officials, and other designated professionals. To learn more about it, you can refer to our article here.

The NIJ (National Institute of Justice) certification stands as the epitome of quality in body armor that offers a defined level of protection against threats like bullets and stab wounds. When purchasing body armor, it's important to look for NIJ certification to ensure that the product meets recognized standards for protection.

However, not all body armor bears NIJ certification. A label indicating that a piece of body armor is "NIJ Tested" means that it has undergone testing according to NIJ standards, but is not officially certified by the NIJ. On the other hand, "NIJ Certified" refers to body armor that has successfully met all the criteria outlined by the NIJ and has received official certification. ProtectAgainst is proud to say that our armor is tested and officially certified by the National Institute of Justice and is included on the official website of the US government.
