The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is the research arm of the U.S. Department of Justice and is the group that created and manages the minimum performance standards against which our and many other brands of armor are tested.

The truth is that there is body armor being sold that is not NIJ certified or tested. Testing takes time and money, and some companies don’t want to go through the effort and cost. Some customers may be super budget conscious and want to save as much as possible.

National Body Armor’s products are tested in NIJ-approved labs and meet the NIJ’s standards for ballistic performance. In fact 100% of the armor we sell is Made in USA and Certified. This means that the quality of the materials and the way we have them assembled stop what they’re advertised to stop.

Cheap armor that hasn’t been tested? Maybe it would pass…but do you want to bet your life on it?

Pros of having National Body Armor NIJ certified armor:

• Be confident in your personal safety. NIJ certification provides assurance of protection against specific ballistic threats
• Higher quality. NIJ certification is a rigorous testing process that ensures armor meets specific standards and undergoes regular quality control inspections
• Widely recognized: NIJ certification is a widely recognized standard in the law enforcement and military communities. Using certified armor can improve the perception of the armor vendor’s professionalism and commitment to safety.

If you are a National Body Armor Save, please get in touch with us. Our company was founded with the mission of saving lives, and we would love to hear from you. Our CEO will personally reach out to learn about your experience and discuss your story. After all, you are our hero! The most recent Certified Save was a US National Guardsman from Pennsylvania.

Currently, the highest rating/level for personal body armor is Level IIIA for soft armor and Level IV for hard armor plates.

The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) establishes and updates voluntary minimum performance standards for body armor, conducts testing against these standards to ensure that body armor complies with the standards, and sponsors research to improve body armor. NIJ Certified body armor is strictly regulated and randomly selected for testing by the NIJ to ensure the armor design meets the requirements listed on the build sheet. Armor that does not comply to the standards and fails any of the NIJ’s inspections is subject to a recall.

Absolutely, getting shot will be painful, even with a vest. The impact can cause significant pain, and it may also lead to bone fractures and internal bleeding. While a bullet-resistant vest is designed to stop the bullet and minimize backface deformation, it is not intended to make the wearer comfortable after being shot. Bullets travel at speeds ranging from 800 to 2,400 feet per second, so the impact can still cause trauma. The primary purpose of the vest is to keep the wearer alive despite these injuries.

Yes, body armor really does work. Although it's not 100% bulletproof, numerous news reports and online stories highlight cases where police, military personnel, and civilians have been saved by their ballistic vests. In the 1970s and 80s, the founder of one of the first major body armor companies would even demonstrate the effectiveness of his products by being shot with a .357 Magnum. While this was a bold way to prove the product’s reliability, modern testing and the extensive history of life-saving incidents make such demonstrations unnecessary today.

We don’t offer child-sized armor vests, but our products fit anyone who meets the sizing guidelines. For school-aged children, we recommend using backpack armor. Our 10”x12” or 11”x14” ballistic panels fit well into many types of backpacks.

Our team will always focus on quality before speed as we sell life saving products.

Body armor is a life safety product and we want you to have a brand new product with a full warranty. We are the only online body armor factory that sells direct to consumer.

In most cases they are offering Chinese made non-certified body armor that was manufactured up to a year a go or more that may have been sitting in a container for an extended period of time.

National Body Armor warrants nylon covers against any defects in workmanship or materials for twelve (12) months after the date of purchase.

We offer a limited 5-year manufacturer’s warranty on all of our soft armor products, 10 years on hard armor and 2 years on the carrier.

National Body Armor warrants that for a period of (5) years from the date of purchase, the soft armor panels and for a period of (10) years for hard armor we will conform to the minimum requirements of the NIJ protocol for ballistic intervention during an actual confrontation at the stated threat level (if your ballistic panels are not labeled in compliance with NIJ requirements, then this warranty does not apply to your panels). This warranty is subject to, and expressly conditioned upon, strict compliance with the following conditions:

- The panel must not be torn, damaged, or altered in any way.

- The panel must not be subjected to abuse or misuse during service.

- The panel may only be used or placed in a cover or carrier it is designed or intended for.

- The panel must not be permitted to be excessively wet.

- The panel must not be subjected to excessive heat.

- The panel must be properly stored (i.e., not in excessively hot or damp conditions).

Our ballistics have a 5-year limited warranty. This is the industry standard recommended life cycle of a bullet resistant vest.

The recommended way to store your body armor is by laying them flat. Storing your vest in an upright position will cause the ballistic material to eventually start to “bunch up” on the bottom of the carrier.

While the outer carriers are designed to be machine washed and dried, the ballistic panels should NEVER be placed in a washing machine or dryer. To clean your ballistic panels, simply remove them from the outer carrier and wipe them down with soapy water. Make sure to thoroughly dry your ballistic panels before inserting them back into the carrier. Again, it is important to remember to NEVER submerge your ballistic panels in water.

When not in use, store your vest flat, and in a cool dry place

Rinsing your vest with water and washing with mild soaps will not damage your vest. Never submerge your vest underwater - rinse your vest off after any extended use. In addition to preventing the buildup of odor and other body residues, frequent rinsing will make wearing your vest more pleasant. You can rinse your vest in a conventional sink or shower; use a small amount of mild soap and hand scrub the body side of the vest and elastic straps about every fifth rinse. Always rinse soap off thoroughly and towel dry vest immediately after rinsing. Refer to care instructions on vest.

Submerging your vest in water is something that seems harmless yet can be very detrimental to your body armor. Exposing a ballistic package to water can significantly decrease the performance of your ballistics while the material is wet. Although our panels are sealed with ripstop material and are designed to keep water out, it is not recommended to submerge your panels.

Only the manufacturer is exclusively authorized to make repairs and alterations to their vests and other equipment. Manufacturer will consider this warranty null and void if any alterations and/or repairs of any kind are made to the vest, or to any portion of the vest, by any person or entity other than the Manufacturer.

We take your privacy very seriously. All orders are shipped from us direct to the consumer. We do not share, trade, or sell your information to outside parties. Your purchase is handled privately. We do cooperate with law enforcement on inquiries in regards to the original purchaser of our armor.

Zero tolerance.
