Choosing the Right Body Armor Level

When selecting body armor, it's important to choose the right level of protection for your specific needs. The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) has established a rating system for body armor, with levels ranging from IIA to IV.

  • Level IIA: Protects against 9mm and .40 S&W ammunition fired from short barrel handguns
  • Level II: Protects against 9mm and .357 Magnum ammunition fired from short barrel handguns
  • Level IIIA: Protects against .357 SIG and .44 Magnum ammunition fired from longer barrel handguns
  • Level III: Protects against rifles
  • Level IV: Protects against armor piercing rifles

Consider your specific job duties and the threats you are likely to face when choosing the appropriate body armor level.
