Ballistic Protection also saves lives in bomb blast with fragmentation shrapnel and explosive incidents. There are thousands of cases of shrapnel being stopped by body armor. However, shrapnel and fragments can take so many shapes and forms that it is very difficult to “rate” the levels of protection. Ammunition based rating systems, like the NIJ Threat Level system, seem to be the best way to measure the strength of a material in a projectile impact blast protection test. Threat Level 3a is the HIGHEST level of protection available in soft body armor (vests). Higher levels of protection are in the form of “hard” armoring: Ceramic, Composite or Metal Plates in pockets that protect the most vital, center of mass, organs, other than the head. Blast protection and explosion protection is integral to the ballistic materials used in our products.
