sales@nationalbodyarmor.com or call us at 561-571-5424.
What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and PayPal.
Do all products ship the same day?

Each product page lists whether it’s in stock for same-day shipping or built-to-order with a lead time. Our Express Soft Armor Concealable T-Shirt is usually stocked for immediate shipment.
How many days until my order ships?

In-stock items usually ship the same day. Made-to-order products take longer, but this ensures you receive armor with a fresh date of manufacture and a full 5-year warranty. We always prioritize quality over speed—these are life-saving products.
Why do some products have longer shipping times?

Unlike many resellers, we manufacture our armor here in the USA. Some companies ship imported, uncertified products that may have been sitting in warehouses for a year or more. We only ship newly made armor that carries a full warranty.
Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we export worldwide in compliance with U.S. laws. We are registered with the U.S. Department of State (Code M44107) and follow ITAR and FCPA regulations.
What is your Fit Guarantee?

If your order doesn’t fit, you may request a return within 10 days of delivery. You can exchange for the correct size, a different product, or store credit. Returns must be in new, unworn condition. Clearance items are final sale. Only one exchange per order is permitted.
Do you cover return shipping?

Yes. Once you request an RMA through our Returns Portal, we’ll send you a prepaid UPS return label.
What’s the difference between NIJ-certified armor and non-certified armor?

The NIJ (National Institute of Justice) sets the gold standard for ballistic testing. All National Body Armor products are Made in the USA and NIJ Certified in approved labs. This ensures reliable performance and strict quality control. Non-certified armor may be cheaper—but do you really want to gamble with your life?
What’s the highest level of armor I can buy?
  • Soft armor: Level IIIA
  • Hard armor plates: Level IV
What does “NIJ rating” mean?

It’s the NIJ’s performance standard for body armor. Certified products undergo rigorous testing and ongoing inspections. If armor fails compliance, it’s subject to recall.
Does it hurt to get shot while wearing a vest?

Yes. A vest saves your life, but the impact can still cause bruising, fractures, or internal trauma. The purpose of the armor is survival—not comfort.
Does body armor really work?

Yes. Thousands of lives have been saved by body armor. While no vest is 100% bulletproof, NIJ-certified armor provides proven ballistic protection.
Can I buy armor for my kids?

We don’t offer child-sized vests. For students, we recommend ballistic backpack inserts (10"x12" or 11"x14").
Who can buy body armor?

Any adult (18+) can purchase armor, unless prohibited by state law or if convicted of a felony. No background check or federal registration is required.
Is body armor legal?

Yes, federally. However, New York and Connecticut require additional ID verification. Residents must provide proof of eligible profession as outlined by state regulations.
What is your warranty policy?
  • Soft armor: 5 years
  • Hard armor: 10 years
  • Carriers (nylon covers): 12 months
  • All warranties are valid under proper use, storage, and care.
How long does a vest last?

Soft armor should be replaced every 5 years, which is the industry standard life cycle.
How should I clean my armor?
  • Carriers: Machine-washable.
  • Ballistic panels: Wipe with soapy water and air-dry. Never machine wash, submerge, or expose panels to extreme heat or water.
How should I store my vest?

Lay flat in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding or storing upright for long periods.
Can I alter my vest?

No. Alterations or unauthorized repairs void the warranty.
What happens if your vest saves my life?

Please contact us immediately—we want to hear your story. Our CEO personally connects with every National Body Armor Save. The most recent certified save was a U.S. National Guardsman from Pennsylvania.
Do you cooperate with law enforcement?

Yes.
Do you have a zero-tolerance policy on social media, email, and phone abuse?

Yes. We maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy to protect our team and customers.
