What the protection level means
Manufacturer-stated NIJ IIIA (handgun level). IIIA is the highest handgun level in the US National Institute of Justice scale (NIJ 0101.06, tested with .357 SIG and .44 Magnum rounds). The newer NIJ standard calls the closest level HG2. It is not rated against rifle rounds, and it is not a stab or spike rating unless the listing says so separately.

Important information
Protection ratings are manufacturer-stated and have not been independently verified by R Supply Store. A NIJ IIIA soft armour vest is designed to help against certain handgun threats and is not rated against rifle rounds, knives or spikes, or fragmentation beyond its stated level, and it does not make the wearer invulnerable. Coverage is limited to the panel area only. Civilian ownership of body armour is legal in England, Wales and Scotland, but legality varies by country; the buyer is responsible for verifying local ownership and import legality, and R Supply Store does not provide legal advice. Tracked delivery to the UK, most of Europe and the US, with order updates by email.
