Two front chest panels and one full back panel use ShieldTec® soft armor technology, independently tested at U.S. NIJ-accredited ballistic laboratories across 35+ evaluations, stopping 9mm, .357 Magnum, .40 S\u0026amp;W, .45 ACP, .357 SIG, and .44 Magnum threats. FitTec® Comfort Technology distributes panel weight evenly so the jacket wears like outerwear, not gear. Available in XS through XXL for both men and women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho this is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUrban commuters and travelers\u003c\/strong\u003e who want discreet, daily ballistic protection without carrying a separate vest or changing their wardrobe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfessionals in higher-risk environments\u003c\/strong\u003e (executive protection principals, journalists, security-adjacent civilians) who need handgun-threat coverage under everyday clothing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCivilians prioritizing preparedness\u003c\/strong\u003e who want NIJ IIIA-level defense integrated into an article of clothing they would wear regardless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBallistic protection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ShieldTec® panel system is the core of the jacket's protective architecture. Two panels sit in the front chest pocket structure, and one full-coverage panel spans the back. Together they form a continuous front-to-back coverage zone across the torso's critical mass. Each panel is lightweight, multi-layer soft armor that flexes with body movement, so coverage does not require a rigid or structured carrier underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNIJ Level IIIA is the highest handgun-threat rating in the NIJ soft armor hierarchy, stopping 9mm full metal jacket, .40 S\u0026amp;W, .45 ACP, .357 SIG, .357 Magnum, and .44 Magnum rounds. The ShieldTec® system has passed 35+ independent ballistic tests at U.S. NIJ-accredited laboratories. NIJ Level IIIA soft armor does not protect against rifle rounds — for rifle-threat scenarios, a hard armor plate worn in addition to soft armor is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDesign and construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outer shell is rip-resistant, high-strength black nylon with a water-resistant, wind-blocking finish, suited for commuting, flights, and outdoor environments across multiple climates. The ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem give the jacket a structured, athletic silhouette that reads as standard streetwear. Four-way stretch construction allows a full range of arm and shoulder motion without pulling or binding. The FitTec® engineered carrier system manages panel weight distribution internally, keeping the profile slim and the armor invisible from the outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA free $98 ballistic panel ships with every order. If the jacket ever stops a bullet, Innocent Armor sends a replacement jacket at no charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePanel removal and care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll three ShieldTec® panels remove from the FitTec® internal pockets before washing. The jacket shell — panels removed — machine washes cold and hangs dry. Do not bleach or tumble dry with panels inside. Panels themselves are not machine-washable and should be spot-cleaned only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bomber runs true to size in a classic bomber silhouette: relaxed through the chest and shoulders, sitting at the waist, with ribbed cuffs and hem locking in the fit. Size up to layer over thicker garments or for a roomier streetwear cut. Size down for a more fitted look. The jacket is designed to fit men and women comfortably across XS, SM, MD, LG, XL, and XXL.

The jacket shows no visible armor bulk, and the profile is indistinguishable from a standard bomber jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs NIJ Level IIIA protection sufficient against rifle rounds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. NIJ Level IIIA soft armor stops handgun threats up to .44 Magnum but does not protect against rifle-caliber rounds. Stopping rifle threats requires a hard armor plate rated Level III or higher worn in addition to soft armor. This jacket is designed for handgun-threat environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I remove the panels before washing the jacket?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. All three ShieldTec® panels slide out of the FitTec® internal pockets before washing. Machine wash the shell cold and hang dry. Do not wash or tumble dry with panels inside, and do not bleach the shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat handgun calibers does the ShieldTec® panel stop?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ShieldTec® NIJ Level IIIA panels stop 9mm FMJ, .40 S\u0026amp;W, .45 ACP, .357 SIG, .357 Magnum, and .44 Magnum. The system has been independently tested at U.S. NIJ-accredited ballistic laboratories across 35+ evaluations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this jacket unisex? How should I size?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the bomber is designed to fit men and women comfortably. It runs true to size in a classic bomber silhouette. Size down for a fitted look, size up if you plan to layer over thicker garments or prefer a roomier streetwear cut. Contact us if you are between sizes and want a recommendation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this jacket be shipped to my state?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody armor restrictions vary by state. Cannot be shipped to New York or Connecticut due to state body armor laws. Under 18 U.S.C. § 931, anyone with a federal felony conviction for a crime of violence is prohibited from purchasing or possessing body armor.
