When it comes to personal protection, you need gear that works as hard as you do. That’s why the BulletSafe VP4 Advanced Vest is designed for maximum versatility—offering trusted protection against handguns and the ability to upgrade for threats from high-velocity rifles. Whether you’re on patrol, heading to the range, or preparing for high-risk situations, the VP4 is your reliable, all-in-one solution.
Flexible Protection, Built for Any Scenario
The VP4 Advanced Vest comes standard with Level IIIA protection, meaning it stops some of the most powerful handgun threats, like .44 Magnum and .357 SIG.
But what happens when the stakes are higher? The VP4 makes it easy to adapt. It’s equipped with front and back plate pockets designed to hold Level III or Level IV rifle-rated ceramic or steel plates. Adding these plates allows the vest to stop high-powered rifle rounds like 7.62x39mm and 5.56x45mm NATO.
Upgrading is simple:
- If your vest is small or medium, remove the vest’s soft Level IIIA armor for a better fit.
- Insert hard rifle-rated plates into the designated pockets.
- Reinstall the soft armor for added blunt force protection.
This modular system gives you the flexibility to respond to changing threats without compromising on comfort or mobility.
The VP4 Advanced Vest is designed to perform wherever you need it. Its abrasion-resistant PVC-coated polyester carrier makes it durable enough for the toughest environments, while its lightweight build keeps you comfortable on the job.
Level IIIA vs. Level III: What’s the Difference?
Understanding the difference between NIJ ratings helps you make the best choice for your safety:
- Level IIIA: Protects against handgun threats, including .44 Magnum, .357 SIG, and smaller calibers. It’s lightweight and flexible, making it perfect for close-range defense and everyday wear.
- Level III: Provides rifle-rated protection, stopping rounds like 7.62x39mm FMJ and 5.56x45mm NATO. This level of protection requires adding hard plates to your vest, giving you defense against high-velocity impacts.
With the VP4, you don’t have to choose one over the other. Its ability to combine Level IIIA soft armor with Level III hard plates gives you the ultimate balance of versatility and safety.
