BulletBlocker's Elite VIP T Style IIIA (3A) Bulletproof Vest - The Most Advanced Contour Design for Maximum Coverage AND Maximum Concealment! - No Permit Needed anywhere in the United States.

Elite VIP T Vest Kit includes:

Washable, Nylon Cloth Vest (the "carrier") with 2 adjustable low profile shoulder straps and 2 wide-fit body wrap straps.

BulletBlocker Threat Level 3a contoured ballistic inserts.

Kit Does Not Contain Additional Strike Plates for EXTRA armor. Strike Plates are sold elsewhere on this site and not all vests offer strike plate pockets.

The BulletBlocker Elite VIP T is designed to fit close to the body for the most discrete outline. This vest is not made to accept the additional strike plates. These are high quality, NIJ Threat Level 3a vests on their own with no need for additional armoring for their application.

See our Defender Plus line of vests and our other mil spec vests with strike plate pockets. A great concealment vest may not be the best option for all situations. If you can give up some of the concealment aspects you should. Why pay for a lightweight and streamlined concealment body armor vest unless you really need concealment? For many of our customers this purchase is intended for a personal security vest that can be on hand, at the time it is needed, whenever that may be. However, at that moment, a tactical vest will be a better option. Bulkier, easier to grab straps, 4 - 6 points of adjustment, and a pouch on the front and back for strike plates make a "full size" vest a better option for your "go to" protection.

While you are here...you might as well add the strike plates for your "full tactical" vest. You get a break on the price when you buy them in the same sale and you will end up wanting them. They are approx. 9x10 inches of hard-armoring for your body armor vest in the front center and back center of the vest. Yes, it is cool to have a pocket in the front for snacks, etc., but you will ultimately make the same decision that brought you to buy a bulletproof vest in the first place, YOUR LIFE IS WORTH IT!

Caution! Do not trust a used bulletproof vest as sold in other stores and web sites to protect your life! Used body armor and bullet proof vests may have been exposed to trauma, excessive sunlight, moisture or chemicals. All BulletBlocker Products are made from New Materials. Please don't risk your life to save a few dollars.

Absolute Best Price You Will Find Anywhere for Law Enforcement Quality, Lightweight Threat Level 3A Concealment Bullet Proof Vest. Contoured protection in a full wrap around concealment bulletproof vest. Front and Back wrap around body armor protection at a price you can afford. This is a top quality vest with a washable, removable cover. This is an incredible value for this level of protection and concealment.

Technical Data:

Ballistic Protection also saves lives in bomb fragmentation 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 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 - See our Threat Level 3a clipboard inserts or bulletproof backpacks for products you can use to enhance your protection above the neck.

The regular Defender Vest and Elite VIP T style have no strike plate pockets.

Technically the most accurate terminology for a Bulletproof Vest is a Bullet-Resistant Vest or Anti-Ballistic Vest or Body Armor. No vest is 100% completely bulletproof - shoot enough rounds at any vest and it will break down and penetrations of the bulletproof panel will happen. Per independent lab tests and those that you can see on our videos, our vests do stand up against repeated handgun rounds - in one example, over 70 rounds fired with no penetrations. Other terms for a bulletproof vest include body armor, body armor vest, tactical vest, tactical body armor, and ballistic body armor. The most common vernacular, however is bulletproof vest or bullet proof vest in the civilian world, or body armor or tactical vest in law enforcement and security.

You might also be aware of the term kevlar vest, however, that refers to a specific type of anti-ballistic material under its own patent, whereas BulletBlocker vests, backpacks and travel accessories make use of UHMWPE UD (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) Laminations. There are also stab vests and we are pending independent testing and rating before we promote our products as stab resistant.

BulletBlocker UHMWPE UD (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) Laminations are a Spectra Type, unique lightweight composite material providing superior anti-ballistic protection, for both personnel and vehicle protection. UD stands for "unidirectional": In UHMWPE UD Laminations, all the fibers are laid parallel, in the same plane, rather than being woven together. UHMWPE UD Laminations are made of several layers of UHMWPE fibers, with the direction of fibers in each layer at 90 degree to the direction of the fibers in the adjacent layers. The unidirectional configuration of the fibers in UHMWPE UD Laminations allows the energy transferred from the impact of a bullet or other ballistic threat to be distributed along the fibers much faster and more efficiently than in conventional woven aramid type fabrics. This is because the absorption power of the yarn in woven fabrics is lost at the crossover points, as these points reflect rather than absorb the shockwaves of the impact. In UHMWPE UD Laminations, much more of the material is engaged in stopping the bullet, making it more effective against ballistics. Dyneema, PE UD and Spectra are typical UHMW-PE UD laminate materials. The polyethylene base material makes this one of the most moisture resistant anti-ballistic materials available.
