What to Consider When You Buy Body Armour
There are two main types of Body Armor, Soft Body Armor (SBA) and Hard Body Armor (HBA) or Rifle Plates.
Soft Armor Panels designed for ballistic threats come in Level 2, 2A and 3A and are designed to defeat certain hand gun rounds. There are also soft armor panels designed for stabbing and cutting attacks. Spike-slash armor panels come in level 2 & 3. If you are buying soft armor be sure to check if it is a spike or ballistic vest so you get the protection you need for your job.
Hard Body Armor (HBA) or Rifle Plates are designed to defeat certain rifle rounds. They come in level III ICW, Level III, Level III+ and Level IV. There are also some Hard plates that are level IIIA and only qualified to defeat pistol rounds. We currently only carry Hard Body Armor Rifle Plates.
