While level 3 is the most common body armor, level 3+ body armor provides a higher level of threat protection without compromising much weight and maneuverability.

What Threats Can Level 3+ Soft Body Armor Stop?

Level III+ armor plates will withstand impact from all handgun calibers. These body armor plates also defeat rifle rounds up to 7.62 x 51, along with light armor piercing (AP) projectiles, such as the 5.56 x 45 (M855). Each level 3+ body armor plate is tested and certified to meet or exceed ballistic resistance as specified under NIJ 0101.06, plus Special Rifle Threats Validated.
