Bulletproof Vests

Protect Yourself in the Line of Duty

A bulletproof vest is a piece of personal armor that helps absorb the impact from firearm-fired projectiles and shrapnel from explosions, and is worn on the torso of the body. Bulletproof vests are also known as:

  • Bullet resistant vests
  • Ballistic vests
  • Kevlar vests
  • Tactical vests
  • Safety vests or life vests

Soft vests are made from many layers of woven or laminated fibers and are be capable of protecting the wearer from small-caliber handgun and shotgun projectiles, as well as small fragments from explosives such as grenades.

Metal or ceramic plates can be used in conjunction with a soft vest to provide additional protection from rifle gunshots.  In addition, metallic components or tightly woven fiber layers can give soft armor additional resistance to stab attacks from knives. Soft vests are commonly worn by police officers, private investigators, private citizens, security guards, and bodyguards, whereas hard-plate reinforced vests are mainly worn by combat soldiers, police tactical units, and hostage rescue teams.

Modern body armor may combine a ballistic vest with other items of protective clothing, such as a combat helmet, steel toe boots, and Kevlar gloves. Vests used by police officers, tactical units and military personnel may also include ballistic shoulder and side protection armor components.

Private investigators may need to wear a bulletproof vest during dangerous surveillance missions, or while providing personal protection or bodyguard services.
