Frequently Asked Questions

What do ballistic plates do?

These plates are hard armor, designed to protect the wearer against projectiles. Some also are durable enough to protect against knife threats – it depends on the plates and certification level.

 

What does it mean for a military armor plate to be NIJ certified?

Being a NIJ-certified plate means that the armor complies with requirements for the NIJ (National Institute of Justice) Compliance Testing Program, known as the NIJ CTP. This essentially means that the armor plates are legitimate and have been tested to protect against the threat performance matrix level it was assigned.

 

Can civilians wear ballistic plates?

Though most commonly worn by military and law enforcement, civilians can also purchase and wear plates. Generally, anyone that is looking for added security or preparedness can use and benefit from any sort of protective gear.

 

How do I determine which armor plates are best?

Besides considering cost, you will want to look at the threat level that the plates protect against, weight, flexibility, and size/coverage. While you want them to be protective, you also need to ensure you maintain your agility with your gear on.
