Made in the USA to strict U.S. military spec meeting DEA protocol and frag protection — this isn't your average commercial vest. It's 100% Berry Compliant, NIJ Level IIIA certified, and has sat in the manufacturer's Florida facility since the day it rolled off the line. Level IIIA means the soft armor is rated to stop common handgun rounds like 9mm and .40 S&W. Originally made for the Mexican military it comes with a removable patch " EJERCITO" (Army). It carries an extended factory warranty, which you never see on surplus or overstock armor.
Soft armor comfort, room to add standard front and back hard plates when you need them, American-made, factory-backed. If you want serious protection without the guesswork, this is it.
Exclusive to Survival Armor®, its patented VisiBALLISTICS™ clear-view technology allows you to inspect the armor vest directly, eliminating the need to send it back to the factory for evaluation. You can clearly see what they are buying and how the armor stands up to daily wear without removing the vest from service.
