⚠️ 5 Tips to Save Your Money — and Your Life
Learn what to check before buying any “bulletproof” product, from any store.
01
Always ask for the certification level
If a bag doesn’t clearly say NIJ Level IIIA (.44 Magnum), assume it’s not bulletproof.
👉 Real protection always has a verified standard.
02
Beware of brands that say “bullet-resistant” without proof
“Bullet-resistant” is not the same as “ballistic tested.”
If they don’t show you a lab test report or patent, they’re selling confidence, not protection.
03
Pay attention to the weight
If it’s too light, it’s too weak.
A real Level IIIA soft panel weighs around 700 – 900 g. Anything less means corners were cut.
04
Real armor doesn’t come cheap
A quality ballistic core costs more than a normal bag, backpack or vest.
If the price sounds “too good,” it’s probably not tested or not legal.
05
Look for transparency, not hype
A trustworthy company explains both its limits and its strengths.
We tell you exactly what our bags stop — and what they don’t. That’s what real armor means.
