Not exactly. The truth is, no body armor is 100% bulletproof. What our vests do provide is reliable ballistic protection against the threats they're rated to stop. When worn properly, our soft armor panels and ballistic plates are designed to perform when you need them most—and can make the difference between life and death.

These protection levels tell you what types of ballistic threats the armor is designed to stop. The ratings are based on testing standards and indicate the caliber, velocity, and type of rounds the armor can protect against. In general, the higher the protection level, the greater the threat protection. Not sure which level is right for you? Check out our detailed guide to learn more about the differences between HG2, RF1, RF2, RF3, and ESAPI protection levels. here

We stand behind the quality of our ballistic panels, body armor plates, and ballistic helmets with a minimum 5-year warranty from the date of manufacture, as shown on the product label. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and proper care, giving you confidence in the equipment you rely on.

Each protection level is tested against specific ballistic threats, including different calibers, bullet types, and impact velocities. As the protection level increases, the armor is designed to stop more powerful threats. Refer to our protection level guide for a detailed breakdown of the ammunition and threats covered by HG2, RF1, RF2, RF3, and ESAPI.

Yes, some can. We can confirm that armor tested to NIJ 0101.07 Level HG2 is designed to stop certain shotgun loads specified under the standard. However, not all shotgun ammunition is the same. Protection depends on factors such as the type of load, velocity, and the armor's protection rating. Always refer to the armor's certified threat specifications for details.
