Three removable ShieldTec® ballistic panels — two covering the front chest and one full back panel — are rated against 9mm FMJ and .44 Magnum SJHP handgun threats, independently tested at a U.S. NIJ-accredited ballistic laboratory across 35+ test rounds. The FitTec® carrier system distributes panel weight across the torso for all-day comfort without visible bulk.

The panels are rated to stop 9mm FMJ and .44 Magnum SJHP rounds, covering the most common handgun threats encountered in civilian and professional environments. Testing was conducted at a U.S. NIJ-accredited ballistic laboratory and completed across 35+ separate test rounds. NIJ Level IIIA soft armor does not provide protection against rifle rounds; users requiring rifle-rated protection should pair this garment with a hard armor plate or select a different armor system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePanel configuration: two front chest panels plus one full back panel. All three panels are removable, allowing the jacket shell to be laundered separately and the panels to be swapped between compatible garments if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDesign and construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jacket uses a structured polo silhouette with reinforced structural stitching throughout the shell. The cut runs slightly athletic — clean through the shoulders and chest — with enough room to layer over a tee or lightweight base layer. The shell is engineered to accommodate the integrated ballistic panels without visible print-through when properly fitted. Executive styling keeps the jacket suitable for office environments, travel, and formal events without any tactical aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FitTec® comfort technology distributes panel weight evenly across the torso. The system is designed to move naturally with the wearer, making it practical for extended daily wear in a way that a traditional plate carrier or vest insert is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSizing and fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jacket fits true to size for a structured, tailored look. The cut is slightly athletic. Size up for a more relaxed fit or to accommodate comfortable layering over a heavier base layer. Size down for a closer, more fitted appearance. If you are between sizes, size up for comfort and size down for a fitted look. Sizes run from S to XXXL. Contact us if you need help selecting a size based on specific measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove all ballistic panels before washing the jacket shell. Machine wash cold and hang dry. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry with panels inserted. The panels themselves should not be machine washed. Following these instructions preserves both the shell fabric and the integrity of the ballistic material over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"quick-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Innocent Armor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polo Bulletproof Jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBallistic system:\u003c\/strong\u003e ShieldTec® soft armor panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNIJ protection level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Level IIIA (handgun-rated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTested rounds:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9mm FMJ, .44 Magnum SJHP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTesting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Independently tested at a U.S. NIJ-accredited ballistic laboratory, 35+ test rounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePanel configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 front chest panels + 1 full back panel (3 panels total)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePanel removability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully removable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarrier technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e FitTec® comfort system\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black, Navy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShell care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machine wash cold, hang dry; remove panels before washing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat NIJ level does this jacket provide?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNIJ Level IIIA. That rating covers the majority of common handgun threats, including 9mm FMJ and .44 Magnum SJHP. It does not cover rifle rounds. If rifle-rated protection is required, a hard armor plate system is the appropriate choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the ballistic panels removable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. All three ShieldTec® panels — two front chest panels and one full back panel — are fully removable. This allows you to machine wash the jacket shell separately and to swap panels between compatible garments if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this jacket stop rifle rounds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. NIJ Level IIIA is a handgun-rated designation. The ShieldTec® panels are tested against 9mm FMJ and .44 Magnum SJHP. Rifle-caliber rounds require hard armor rated at Level III or Level IV, which cannot be integrated into a garment of this type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the jacket fit and what size should I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt fits true to size with a slightly athletic cut. Size up for a relaxed or layered look; size down for a close, fitted appearance. If you are between sizes and prefer comfort, go up. If you prefer a tailored look, go down. Contact us if you need sizing help based on specific measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I care for this jacket?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove all ballistic panels before laundering. Machine wash the jacket shell cold and hang dry. Do not bleach and do not tumble dry with panels inserted. Wash the shell only — the panels should not go in the washing machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this be shipped to my state?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product contains NIJ Level IIIA soft armor. 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. If you are unsure about restrictions in your state, contact us before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Innocent Armor","offers":[{"title":"S \/ Black","offer_id":63980262457715,"sku":"IA-04-SM-BLK","price":597.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"S \/ Navy","offer_id":63980262490483,"sku":"IA-04-SM-NVY","price":597.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M \/ Black","offer_id":63980262523251,"sku":"IA-04-MD-BLK","price":597.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M \/ Navy","offer_id":63980262556019,"sku":"IA-04-MD-NVY","price":597.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L \/ Black","offer_id":63980262588787,"sku":"IA-04-LG-BLK","price":597.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"L \/ Navy","offer_id":63980262621555,"sku":"IA-04-LG-NVY","price":597.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL \/ Black","offer_id":63980262654323,"sku":"IA-04-XL-BLK","price":597.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL \/ Navy","offer_id":63980262687091,"sku":"IA-04-XL-NVY","price":597.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL \/ Black","offer_id":63980262719859,"sku":"IA-04-XXL-BLK","price":597.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"XXL \/ Navy","offer_id":63980262752627,"sku":"IA-04-XXL-NVY","price":597.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"XXXL \/ Black","offer_id":63980262785395,"sku":"IA-04-XXXL-BLK","price":597.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"XXXL \/ Navy","offer_id":63980262818163,"sku":"IA-04-XXXL-NVY","price":597.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1926\/7025\/files\/IMG-0620.png?v=1787098377","url":"https:\/\/bulletproofzone.com\/products\/polo-bulletproof-jacket-nij-level-iiia-soft-armor","provider":"Bulletproof Zone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
