All Premier Body Armor products are tested in a certified, independent lab to the same NIJ Level IIIA ballistic standards as our Law Enforcement vests. We proudly manufacture all Premier Body Armor products in the United States from domestically sourced materials so our customers can rest assured they are purchasing the highest quality products available.
At Premier Body Armor, we source only the BEST raw materials to make our products. “MADE in the USA” is more than just a tagline for us; it’s a way of life. Every fiber that goes into the manufacturing of our ballistic panels is sourced and made in the USA. The ballistic fibers found in Premier Body Armor products are single-source. They come from DuPont™* , the people that invented para-aramid fibers.
