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
The protection level stated above is the manufacturer-stated rating and has not been independently verified by R Supply Store. Soft armour at this level is designed to address certain handgun threats and does not stop rifle rounds, knives or stab implements, and no body armour is guaranteed to protect against every threat. 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 before ordering, 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.
