About Level IIIA Bulletproof Vest
Historically, ballistic body armor has existed since the 16th century, used by the Korean navy and European generals. However, the prototype of the vest that we know of today was not created until the mid-19th century. Covering the most essential organs of the body and made from eight layers of tightly woven silk, the mid-19th century bulletproof vest / body armor was more of a technological experiment than sold to the common individual for protection. While worldwide conflicts would see improvements in ballistic armor with the inclusion of metal plates, it wouldn’t be until 1971 when a synthetic, bulletproof fiber, would be discovered. Discovered by Polish-American chemist Stephanie Kwolek, who worked at DuPont laboratories was then incorporated into bulletproof vests as a durable, sturdy, and bulletproof material. And the rest, as often said, would be history.
About the BulletSafe Bulletproof Vest | Level III
Compared to even the most modern bulletproof vests and body armor, the BulletSafe Level IIIA Bulletproof Vest’s is currently ranked at the NIJ’s IIIA level performance-wise. The NIJ, or National Institute of Justice, is the country’s most premier resource in testing and ranking the protection strength of body armor. Level IIIA is the highest level a piece of soft body armor can have. With the BulletSafe Bulletproof Vest, you will be well guarded against handgun rounds as well as rounds from a .44 magnum. Considering how handguns play a large role in the majority of deadly accidents and shootings in the United States, the Level III BulletSafe Bulletproof Vest is more than enough for your daily protection needs.
The BulletSafe Level IIIA body armor is also stab-proof. Whether the attacker is using a knife, razor, axe, or even an ice pick, the BulletSafe Level IIIA Body Armor can withstand any type of weapon. Especially for individuals working as security detail, BulletSafe Level IIIA body armor will help in providing an extra layer of safety, especially for what may be a deadly close encounter.
One thing you will notice when purchasing your BulletSafe Level III body armor are pockets in the side of the vest. These pockets are for ballistic plates. While a Level IIIA-ranked vest is already strong enough to withstand most handgun rounds, unfortunately, this type of vest cannot protect against heavier rifle rounds or armor-piercing rounds. For individuals who work in industries where encountering heavier fire is possible, we suggest supplementing your BulletSafe Bulletproof Vest with either the BulletSafe Ultralight Alpha Bulletproof Plate (for rifle rounds, Level III protection body armor) or the BulletSafe Lightweight Ballistic Plate-Ceramic (for armor-piercing rounds, Level IV protection).
All of our BulletSafe Level III Bulletproof Vests are made out of a special material called Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, or High Strength Polyethylene for short. High Strength Polyethylene is a type of synthetic material with a high strength to density ratio. Compared to body armor, High Strength Polyethylene is stronger and used currently by the United States military for interceptor body armor. At the Bulletproof Supply Store, we prioritize the safety of our clients first above all us, and we make sure to use the best materials for our body armor. If you want to see more of the BulletSafe Level IIIa Bulletproof Vest’s protection capabilities, you can watch our YouTube videos below where we test our body armor and other products with an assortment of handguns and knives.

Level IIIA Bulletproof Vest Sizing
When it comes to being any type of clothes, it’s important to find the right fit for you. The same goes for bulletproof vests and other body armor. At the Bulletproof Supply Store, our BulletSafe Level IIIA Bulletproof Vests come in six sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, and 4XL. No matter your size, there is a bulletproof vest that will fit you.
When picking the right bulletproof vest size, the most important thing to remember is that your T-shirt size is not the same as bulletproof vest sizing options. Remember that you will be wearing your Level IIIA bulletproof vest over a shirt. Especially for undercover police officers, you may also be in situations where you have to wear your bulletproof vest beneath a shirt. First, measure your height and weight, and then use the chart below to determine which size is best for you:
When finalizing your choice for a Level IIIA bulletproof vest, one last thing to remember is that you want the vest to fit snugly around your stomach. The length of a vest doesn’t matter as all vests come with adjustable shoulder straps. Instead, you want the width of the vest to be secure around your stomach. A loose vest may compromise your safety while a vest that is too tight around your stomach may restrict your movement/breathing.
For individuals with stockier builds, we suggest ordering a vest from the top of your size range. For more lean individuals, we suggest ordering a vest from the bottom of your size range.

Super fast shipping, was fully satisfied to wait the stated delivery time but the vest arrived within 3-4 days. Am very satisfied with the product itself, might be a little restrictive for some at first as one or two others noted, but it’s fine once you’re used to it. Most of our team are used to white undershirts so this is a little more obvious under clothing but a good product nonetheless. Can’t spend enough on peace of mind.
