VestGuard UK Body Armour Stopping Power – NIJ Standards

VestGuard UK uses the NIJ (The National Institute of Justice – USA) standards to define the stopping capabilities of the vests they manufacture and supply. As the internationally defined test criteria for all NIJ classified body armour VestGuard has been approved and certified as a supplier to produce products to their quality and pass their protection standards.

VestGuard would always recommend buying body armour that has been tested and approved by the NIJ.

Choosing the correct level according to the individual operational requirement can be difficult. Below illustrates the stopping capabilities of each level of the NIJ standard.
