Not all ballistic protection is created equal—and for everyday civilian use, Level IIIA strikes the perfect balance between protection, weight, and discretion.
What Is Level IIIA?
Level IIIA is a ballistic rating defined by the NIJ (National Institute of Justice). It’s tested to stop most handgun threats, including powerful rounds used in civilian incidents. It does not stop rifle fire—but it’s effective against the most statistically likely threats in urban or school settings.
Why It’s Practical for Everyday Carry
Unlike heavy ceramic or steel plates, Level IIIA inserts are thin, lightweight, and flexible. They slip easily into backpacks, laptop bags, or briefcases—no tactical vest required.
Peace of Mind, Without the Bulk
For parents, professionals, and students, Level IIIA offers discreet protection that doesn’t interfere with daily life. That’s why Armorly uses soft IIIA inserts in all of our protective packs—so you're covered without compromise.
