BODY ARMOR & BALLISTIC PROTECTION
Body armor is a type of protective clothing designed to deflect or absorb projectile attacks. While ballistic protection from projectiles is the primary use for body armor, the level of protection extends to absorbing stab impact from knives and from items being thrown in the direction of the wearer. Body armor isn’t just ballistic and kevlar vests. Complete body armor systems are available, as well as armor pieces designed for specific body parts and areas.To get more news about best bullet proof vests, you can visit bulletproofboxs.com official website.

This allows more overall ballistic protection for body armor users.

Although body armor is used primarily by police and military members, there has been a significant increase in civilian appeal. While there are certain standards in place with the purchase of certain body armor styles, there has been a noticeable increase in body armor interest from tactical gear and home protection enthusiasts alike.

Galls is your comprehensive source for body armor and accessories. We feature a large variety of body armor options, including plate carriers, stab armor, body armor plates, and much more from brands you know and trust.

BODY ARMOR LEVELS
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) developed standards for the protection level of body armor. There are 5 NIJ threat levels, from small to higher caliber ammunition protection. A body armor’s level rating is determined by how high of a threat level the item can withstand.
BULLETPROOF VEST DISCLAIMER***
It should be noted that the terms “bulletproof vest” or “bullet proof vest” is something of a misnomer. Body armor is designed to absorb projectile impact, and, depending on its rating, some body armor pieces have more effective stopping power than others. That does not mean that these vests and other protective pieces of armor will outright deflect a bullet. Fictional characters are bulletproof. Real-world body armor and ballistic vests are not. Instead, they are designed to absorb and potentially deflect projectile-based attacks.

It should also be noted that body armor manufacturers avoid the "bulletproof" term altogether when developing their products. Nothing is 100 percent bulletproof, and that includes Lvl IV body armor, which has stopping power up to armor-piercing rifle ammunition.

TYPES OF BODY ARMOR
The most popular piece of body armor is the ballistic tactical vest. While vests do comprise an important component of body armor, body armor options are certainly not limited to ballistic vests. They include but are not limited to, helmets, tactical field armor, stab armor, concealable armor, shields, and more.

BALLISTIC VESTS
Ballistic vests, often referred as “bulletproof vests,” are designed specifically for firearm projectile resistance. Armored vests offer protection via armor plating that is either sewn into the vest or by adding portable ballistic plates to armor carrier vests that are designed to accommodate armor plating. Galls carries a wide variety of protective ballistic vests for police and military members who must enter a hazardous, volatile condition while performing their duties.

From plate-carrying ballistic vests to stab armor designed to protect against bladed weapon attacks, we are your best choice for body armor options.

CONCEALABLE ARMOR
Concealable armor is designed to be worn under a service member’s uniform or duty clothing, while offering different levels of ballistic protection, including Level II, Level IIA, and Level IIIA. Essentially, concealable armor is designed to protect against smaller firearms ammunition instead of the larger, higher-powered rifles. Concealable armor is normally lighter than traditional ballistic tactical vests and often features concealable plate carriers, which allow police officers and military members increased discretion as well as more range of motion while maintaining protection integrity.

Galls carries several concealable armor pieces from trusted brands like Point Blank, GH Armor, Galls, and more, including the Point Blank Alpha Elite AXIIIA Ballistic Vest with Hi Lite Carrier and the Galls G-Force Level IIIA Concealable Ballistic Vest.

TACTICAL ARMOR
Tactical armor consists of ballistic vests that are designed to be worn over a police officer or military member’s uniform. To protect the wearer, tactical ballistic vests either have ballistic plates sewn into them or are made to accommodate the addition of ballistic plates when the need arises. Ballistic helmets are also considered part of the tactical armor family, but the primary focus of tactical armor is to protect the wearer’s torso from firearm ammunition.

Galls stocks a quality selection of tactical armor from trusted brands like Point Blank, United Shield International, Armor Express, the Galls private brand, and more, including the Point Blank Active Shooter Steel Plate Kit and the Galls Active Shooter Body Armor Kit.
