What is Body Armor?

Body armor is a protective garment that is worn to protect the wearer from gunfire, knives, and other weapons. It is typically made from a lightweight, yet strong material such as Kevlar or Dyneema. Body armor can be worn in a variety of ways, including under clothing, over clothing, or as a standalone garment.

Types of Body Armor

There are two main types of body armor: hard armor and soft armor.

• Hard armor is made from a hard material such as ceramic or metal. It is very effective at stopping bullets, but it is also heavy and bulky.
• Soft armor is made from a soft material such as Kevlar or Dyneema. It is less effective at stopping bullets than hard armor, but it is also lighter and more comfortable to wear.

Levels of Protection

Body armor is rated according to its level of protection. The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) has established six levels of protection, from Level I to Level VI.

• Level I armor is designed to protect against handgun rounds.
• Level II armor is designed to protect against rifle rounds.
• Level III armor is designed to protect against armor-piercing rounds.
• Level IV armor is designed to protect against high-powered rifle rounds.
• Level V armor is designed to protect against incendiary rounds.
• Level VI armor is designed to protect against explosive devices.

Choosing the Right Body Armor

The type of body armor that you choose will depend on your individual needs and circumstances. If you are a law enforcement officer, you will need a higher level of protection than a civilian. If you are a civilian, you may only need a lower level of protection.
