The N-Force Level II (male) is compliant with the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Standard-0101.06, and it is also tested in accordance with the FBI ballistic test protocol 2.0 (12/02/2008) at HP White Laboratory.

The significance of a Level II armor vest passing what has historically been thought of as a Level IIIA test is one of the first of its kind in the industry. We look forward to setting and pushing the bar in the design of armor that is both wearable and extremely high performing.”
*DBT’s Synergy IIIA is the industry’s first tri-compliant vest tested to the NIJ .06 standard, FBI ballistic test protocol and the DEA armor test protocol.
