Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Premier Body Armor Everyday Armor T-shirt?

The Premier Body Armor Everyday Armor T-shirt is a piece of concealable body armor designed for comfort and discretion. It features internal pouches that hold thin, lightweight ballistic panels, allowing the wearer to carry ballistic protection integrated into their daily clothing.

What ballistic threat level does the Phoenix panel provide?

The Phoenix panel used in the Premier Body Armor Everyday Armor T-shirt is rated for Level IIIA according to NIJ 0101.06 standards. This level is designed to stop common handgun rounds, including .44 Magnum and 9mm, and even some higher-powered threats in testing.

Can the bulletproof t-shirt stop rifle rounds?

The Level IIIA rating of the Phoenix panel is not designed to stop rifle rounds. While the video shows it stopping some high-velocity rounds like 5.7x28mm and even exceeding calibers like .50 AE, this is beyond its specified rating and should not be relied upon for rifle protection.

What are the limitations of the Premier Body Armor T-shirt?

While the armor effectively prevents penetration, impacts from powerful rounds, especially those exceeding the Level IIIA rating, can cause significant back-face deformation. This means substantial blunt force trauma could still occur, potentially leading to injury.
