    Rating & Testing

    NIJ STANDARD TEST ROUND

    Round Velocity (ft/s)
    .30-06 M2 AP (Steel Core Armor-Piercing) ~2,880 ft/s

    In addition to stopping penetration, the armor must limit backface deformation to 44mm to reduce blunt force trauma.

    To learn more about the NIJ body armor standards, read our Understanding Body Armor Ratings article.

    OFFICIAL TEST REPORT

    Want to see the full test report? Download the test document below:

    *Note: In the penetration column, "P" stands for partial penetration, meaning the bullet was captured by the armor and did not fully pass through. This is a successful result. A failure would be marked as "C" or "CP" for complete penetration, indicating the bullet fully passed through the armor.

    Fortis is Solid and checks the needed boxes

    The Fortis is a solid carrier that fits comfortably. I purchased the kit with composite armor. It's a great value. This is another great product from Premier Body Armor.

    Best body-armor on the market, hands down

    I was on the market for some body armor because I work as a range safety officer at a local range, the fortis carrier and the 2 level 4 plates I got to go with it not only make me feel secure, but also don’t break the bank, I look forward to trying out other armor and accessories from Premier!
