Check the exact armour model
NIJ publishes compliant-product information for ballistic-resistant body armour. Check the exact manufacturer and model through the programme rather than accepting a fabric name, a generic supplier statement or an unrelated test report. Garment styling and carrier customisation do not independently establish ballistic performance.
