Two removable ShieldTec® panels — one front, one back — stop 9mm FMJ, .357, and .44 Magnum SJHP threats and have been independently tested at U.S. NIJ-accredited ballistic laboratories across 35+ validated test cycles. The garment shell is a 4-way stretch nylon\/elastane blend with moisture-wicking construction, sized XS through XXL and designed to wear alone or as a concealed base layer under hoodies and jackets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho this is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEveryday civilians and commuters\u003c\/strong\u003e who need discreet handgun-rated protection without any visible tactical profile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTravelers and executives\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking concealable soft armor that passes as standard athletic wear in business or casual environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActive wearers and fitness-oriented users\u003c\/strong\u003e who require a ballistic garment with genuine mobility, breathability, and sweat management during training or daily activity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThreat coverage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ShieldTec® panel system is rated NIJ Level IIIA, the highest handgun protection level under the legacy NIJ 0101.06 classification. Testing validates defeats against .44 Magnum SJHP and 9mm FMJ handgun rounds. Level IIIA does not protect against rifle calibers, including 5.56x45 or 7.62x39. For rifle-threat environments, a hard armor plate carrier over this garment would be required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eConcealability and comfort\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitTec® technology positions the ShieldTec® panels in wrap-around internal pockets that distribute weight evenly across the torso and keep the panels stable during walking, running, and bending. The 4-way stretch nylon\/elastane shell molds to the body and accommodates natural movement without bunching or shifting armor. Moisture-wicking construction moves perspiration away from the skin, making the garment suitable for extended daily wear. The low-profile silhouette minimizes armor printing, even under slim outer layers. The tee is designed equally as a standalone garment and as a base-layer concealment piece under jackets and hoodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove both ShieldTec® ballistic panels before washing. Machine wash the garment shell cold and hang dry. Do not bleach or tumble dry with panels installed.

It also covers the .357 Magnum threat range. Level IIIA does not stop rifle calibers. If you need rifle-rated coverage, you would need to add a hard armor plate system over this garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the armor shift or print through the shirt?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The FitTec® pocket system holds both panels stable during walking, running, and bending. The shell fabric is engineered to minimize printing even under slim outer clothing, though low-profile printing varies by body type and garment cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I wear this as a base layer under a jacket or hoodie?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The tee is specifically designed as a base-layer concealment garment. The 4-way stretch shell and low-profile panel pockets keep the silhouette flat enough to layer under most outerwear without visible bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I size this garment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Performance Tee runs true to size with an athletic cut. If you are between sizes or prefer a fitted look, size down. If you plan to layer over this tee or prefer a more relaxed feel, size up. Contact us for fit questions or to review the full size chart before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat happens if the shirt stops a bullet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInnocent Armor replaces the garment free of charge if a ShieldTec® panel stops a live round. The replacement policy covers the full garment, not only the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this be shipped to my state?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis garment contains NIJ Level IIIA soft armor panels. It cannot be shipped to New York or Connecticut due to state body armor restrictions. 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. Contact us before ordering if you are unsure about your state's restrictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Innocent Armor","offers":[{"title":"XS","offer_id":63980260983155,"sku":"IA-11-XS","price":547.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"SM","offer_id":63980261015923,"sku":"IA-11-S","price":547.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MD","offer_id":63980261048691,"sku":"IA-11-M","price":547.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":63980261081459,"sku":"IA-11-L","price":547.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":63980261114227,"sku":"IA-11-XL","price":547.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":63980261146995,"sku":"IA-11-XXL","price":547.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1926\/7025\/files\/black-bulletproof-tshirt-front-view-minimal_jpg.png?v=1787098368","url":"https:\/\/bulletproofzone.com\/products\/performance-bulletproof-t-shirt-nij-level-iiia","provider":"Bulletproof Zone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
