Three ShieldTec® panels — two across the chest and one full back panel — provide front and rear coverage that has passed 35+ independent ballistic tests. The vest ships in sizes XS through XL and includes a complimentary $98 ballistic panel with purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho this is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCivilian women seeking discreet daily protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e the tailored cut and insulated construction pass as ordinary winter outerwear in any setting, from commutes to travel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRetired law enforcement and security professionals:\u003c\/strong\u003e the vest delivers Level IIIA coverage without the visibility or bulk of traditional body armor worn off-duty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnyone who wants all-day wearability:\u003c\/strong\u003e FitTec® Comfort Technology keeps the panels lightweight and flexible so protection stays on through a full day of activity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThreat coverage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLevel IIIA is the highest handgun protection rating under NIJ 0101.06. The ShieldTec® panels are independently tested to stop the majority of handgun threats, including 9mm and .44 Magnum rounds. Three panels cover the front chest and full back. Like all soft body armor, this vest does not protect against rifle-caliber rounds — pairing with a hard rifle-rated plate is required for rifle-threat environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eConcealability and comfort\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vest exterior is genuine lambskin leather with a smooth interior lining. Discreet internal pockets hold the ShieldTec® panels against the chest and back without visible print or added bulk. Precision tailoring gives the garment a flattering, structured silhouette — it reads as a premium winter vest, not a carrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitTec® Comfort Technology integrates the ballistic panels into a flexible, lightweight construction that moves with the body rather than against it. The lightly insulated fill keeps the vest warm for all-day winter wear while the panels remain comfortable against the skin. The fit is true to size for most wearers; sizing up is an option when layering over thicker garments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove the ShieldTec® ballistic panels before any cleaning. Do not machine wash and do not tumble dry. Spot clean the leather exterior gently with a soft, damp cloth, and apply a leather-safe conditioner periodically to maintain softness. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or direct heat. Store the vest on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place to preserve shape and panel integrity.\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 Women's Bulletproof Insulated Vest\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNIJ protection level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Level IIIA (independently tested to NIJ 0101.06 threat parameters)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBallistic system:\u003c\/strong\u003e ShieldTec® panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePanel count and placement:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 panels — 2 front (chest) + 1 full back\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePanel type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightweight, flexible, removable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndependent ballistic tests passed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35+\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExterior material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium genuine lambskin leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterior:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth lining with discreet internal panel pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light insulation for all-day winter wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComfort technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e FitTec® — engineered for mobility and all-day wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e XS, S, M, L, XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e True to size; size up when layering over thicker garments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e ShieldTec® panels installed + complimentary $98 ballistic panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplacement guarantee:\u003c\/strong\u003e If the vest stops a bullet, Innocent Armor sends a replacement at no charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and carrier compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vest is tailored to fit true to size across the XS–XL range. The ballistic panels sit flush across the chest and back without adding visible bulk, so standard sizing applies for most wearers. When layering over heavier sweaters or a light jacket, select one size up.

The ShieldTec® panels are independently tested to stop the majority of handgun threats, including 9mm and .44 Magnum rounds. Level IIIA does not stop rifle-caliber ammunition — no soft body armor does at this rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this vest stop rifle rounds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Level IIIA is rated for handgun threats only. Stopping rifle-caliber rounds requires a hard rifle-rated plate. This vest is designed for everyday civilian carry where handgun threats are the primary concern, not a rifle-threat environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the ballistic panels removable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The ShieldTec® panels slide out of the internal pockets and must be removed before cleaning the vest. Removable panels also allow you to launder the garment independently and to replace panels if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I care for this vest?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove the panels before any cleaning. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Spot clean the leather exterior with a soft, damp cloth and condition periodically with a leather-safe product. Keep the vest away from direct heat and prolonged moisture, and store on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this vest fit, and should I size up?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt-depends. The vest fits true to size for most wearers. If you plan to layer over heavier garments such as a thick sweater, sizing up gives extra room at the hips. The ballistic panels sit flush regardless of size selection and do not affect external silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this vest be shipped to my state?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vest 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 if you have questions about your state before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Innocent Armor","offers":[{"title":"XS","offer_id":63980261900659,"sku":"IA-03-XS","price":597.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"S","offer_id":63980261933427,"sku":"IA-03-SM","price":597.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"M","offer_id":63980261966195,"sku":"IA-03-MD","price":597.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"L","offer_id":63980261998963,"sku":"IA-03-LG","price":597.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"XL","offer_id":63980262031731,"sku":"IA-03-XL","price":597.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1926\/7025\/files\/IMG-7907.png?v=1787098377","url":"https:\/\/bulletproofzone.com\/products\/womens-bulletproof-insulated-vest-nij-level-iiia","provider":"Bulletproof Zone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
