People in the market for body armor may find themselves overwhelmed by the variety of choices on the market today. There is a lot of information to process for the prospective body armor buyer and you could spend months researching before knowing exactly what you are looking for. Sometimes a little guidance can shorten the amount of research time needed to make a good decision by giving you some simple criteria to begin your search. There are three primary factors to consider when determining what armor is the best suited to your requirements: Weight, Threat Level, and Cost.

A soft armor has materials that are pliable and can be bent in various directions. Most soft body armor have NIJ (National Institute of Justice) levels II, IIA, and IIIA, which can repel handguns. On the other hand, if you face a threat with powerful projectiles, protection with hard armor or ballistic plates is best.
