BulletSafe, a company that distributes soft body armor, ballistic panels, bulletproof vests and other personal-protective equipment against ballistic projectiles, is now releasing a new, advanced bulletproof vest with integrated RLA armor inserts. RLA stands for “reinforced lightweight armor” and the new VP4 Advanced Integrated RLA vest is meant to provide a high degree of user mobility and comfort without the added burden of extra weight and heft that come with traditional ballistic vests and panels.

The reinforced lightweight armor ballistic panels that come with the VP4 Advanced vest are rated for Level III A on the NIJ (National Institute of Justice) body-armor-rating scale. Level III A panels that are capable of stopping the majority of handgun and most shotgun rounds with the higher limit being the .44 Mag. cartridge. Typically, Level III A panels are not rated to prevent penetration from centerfire rifle rounds, but the trade-off is that these panels tend to be lighter in weight and easier to wear for extended periods of time, which is relevant to professionals who work in law enforcement or security jobs that entail long hours of wearing a vest.
