Are there multi-hit capable plates available for civilians?

Our UHMWPE vest isn’t just certified; it’s been pushed beyond standard testing. We emptied an 80-round mag into it—and it withstood every single shot.
This is what protection looks like:
What NIJ Level IIIA UHMWPE Stops
9mm FMJ
.357 SIG FMJ
.44 Magnum SJHP
5.7x28mm
12-gauge shotgun slugs
It’s also built to take multiple hits—NIJ testing requires 6+ round strikes, but our vest took 80 in a row and held.
How It Works
UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) fibers don’t just block bullets—they absorb energy, deform, and spread the force across the panel. The result?
Soft and flexible enough to wear under your hoodie
Lightweight (under 1 lb per plate) for all-day protection
Reliable when it matters most
The Bottom Line
Civilian’s vest gives you trusted NIJ IIIA protection for real-world handgun threats—and we’ve proven it under extreme conditions. For higher-caliber rifle protection, we always recommend Level III or IV hard plates. But if you’re looking for something you can wear every day, that’s tested, proven, and truly there when you need it—you just found it.
