Army Bulletproof Jacket
The Army Bulletproof Jacket is a soft body armour vest with a Dupont Kevlar or UHMWPE ballistic core, weighing about 4.5 kg. It covers roughly 0.45 to 0.6 square metres of the torso, and the outer cover comes in polyester, nylon or Cordura in any colour. We make it in China for single units, bulk lots and tenders.
Army Bulletproof Jacket materials and fit
Kevlar is an aramid fibre that is strong and handles heat well. UHMWPE is lighter for the same stop level, so it suits long patrols in hot weather. The core usually sits in several layers of ballistic fabric, and many models add pockets for hard armour plates.
- Ballistic core: Dupont Kevlar or UHMWPE
- Cover: polyester, nylon or Cordura, any colour
- Weight about 4.5 kg; area 0.45 to 0.6 square metres, and both can be customised
- One size fits most, with custom sizes on request
- Side straps with a front zip or hook-and-loop closure, as is usual
Protection level and testing
Jackets of this type are typically rated near NIJ IIIA, which covers common handgun rounds but not rifle fire. The level depends on the model and the core, so we confirm it at enquiry. The NIJ body armor standards page explains how these levels are tested.
Custom builds for tenders
We can change the design and print your logo on the vest under our OEM service. Buyers usually ask us for a sample with the tender colour and badge first, and we recommend sending the tender's protection clause and size split. We confirm the core, cover, level and packing in writing before production.

This jacket sits in the army bulletproof vest group of our army equipment range. We supply importers, contractors, government units and tender winners in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and other markets.
