What is an NIJ-certified tactical Vest?
An NIJ-certified tactical vest is body armor that has been tested and approved by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) — the gold standard for ballistic protection in the United States.
The NIJ rating system includes:
– NIJ Level IIIA – Protects against 9mm and .44 Magnum handgun rounds
– NIJ Level III – Stops 7.62mm FMJ rifle rounds
– NIJ Level IV – Defends against armor-piercing rifle bullets
NIJ certification ensures that the tactical vest meets the required ballistic protection levels under standardized testing conditions, making it essential for law enforcement and military procurement.
Why NIJ Certification Matters for Government Buyers
When sourcing tactical gear for government use, ballistic reliability is non-negotiable. Most defense tenders explicitly require NIJ-certified body armor, either for international alignment (NATO, UN) or compliance with internal law enforcement standards.
With Yakeda, you get:
– Certified test reports from accredited labs
– Consistent batch control and ballistic lot tracking
– NIJ-rated soft armor and plate carrier systems
– IRR options to meet NATO night ops requirements
Yakeda ensures that every vest delivered for tender or contract use meets international standards — with supporting documents ready for submission.
