Modern soft body armor can be sorted into three classes: Ballistic, Anti-Stab, and Multi-Threat. Body armor manufacturers offer a range ballistic armor that differ by weight, flexibility, thickness, and ballistic characteristics.
BALLISTIC ARMOR
When it comes to soft ballistic armor, the most common testing protocol is the NIJ standard. NIJ stands for National Institute of Justice. That organization sets the standards for body armor protection in the United States. Many other nations also use that standard. For soft armor the most common NIJ protection standards used are Level II and Level IIIA. The higher the number, the greater the level of protection. Level IIIA soft armor will stop more powerful ammunition than Level II.
Although ballistic armor panels offer some degree of anti-stab protection, no one can claim that ballistic armor is stab proof. The fact that our soft ballistic panels contain Dyneema®, gives our ballistic panels a higher stab resistance in comparison with most Aramid-based ballistic panels. Penetrating our ballistic armor with an ordinary knife is actually quite a challenge.
ANTI-STAB ARMOR
For stab threats we have developed the TITANSKIN™ series. This panel offers protection against knives, needles, spikes and icepicks.
MULTI-THREAT ARMOR
For clients that require ballistic protection coupled with stab and needle protection we have developed the MT-PRO™ series. This multi-threat armor integrates innovative fabrics such as DSM Dyneema® with TITANSKIN™anti-stab technology. The combination produces a vest that is both light and thin, yet surprisingly tough.
SOFT ARMOR COMPATIBILITY
All our soft armor panels, such as COMFORT™, MT-PRO™, FLEX-PRO™, PRO-PLUS™, and TITANSKIN™, can be combined with our concealable, tactical and specialist carrier systems, including DELUXE™, DUAL USE™, PATROL™ and others.
Soft armor is light and flexible, providing protection against most handgun rounds.

The COMFORT™ is the most flexible ballistic package in the EnGarde® soft armor panel product line. The COMFORT™ is an ideal choice for customers who are looking for an extremely concealable and comfortable solution. Although all our armor products can be worn by men or women, the COMFORT ™ panel is particularly popular with our female customers. Thanks to its extreme flexibility, the COMFORT™ panel is easy to hide, even for people with a smaller stature. The new Dyneema® material that we use in our COMFORT™ soft armor panel allows for a ballistic panel that is four times more flexible than our previous NIJ Level II product. This full-wrap design provides NIJ Level II protection and has been tested according to the Swedish RPS 1 standard, including 9 x 19 DM11 A1B2, .357 Magnum JSP and 9×19 FEB clean range ammunition.

The MT-PRO™ panel offers a new level of protection and performance with the addition of stitch protection. This panel offers true multi-threat protection while maintaining the high standard of comfort that our customers have come to expect. Our MT-PRO™ meets the strict standards of NIJ .04 Level IIIA, but we went even further by testing the MT-PRO™ on eight different types of ammunition! The MT-PRO™ delivers excellent performance against shots close to the edge. By integrating DSM's Dyneema® fabrics with our proven TitanSkin™ anti-stab technology, we were able to develop a panel that offers both superior ballistic performance and stitch protection.
