Ballistic vest Titanium IIIA++
Tactical lightweight bulletproof vest, ergonomically designed to provide the maximum level of protection IIIA By NIJ 0101.04 STDmaking it ideal for armed forces, personal protection, or security agencies.
Soft ballistic insert is designed and developed to provide maximum protection at the level of ΙΙΙΑ By NIJ 0101.04 STD. It also offers protection against other threats such as calibre 7,62×25 mm TOKAREV a 9×18 mm MAKAROV with mild steel core.
To make matters worse, it also provides protection from sharp instruments such as blade S1/G, with a maximum perforation of less than 16 mm at force 20Joules By NIJ 0115.00 STD.
Total the weight of the vest is 2,5 kg at size "L", while at the same time having Thickness panel less than 8 mm, which contributes significantly to the functionality and comfort of the user.
Unique combination of shell fabric CORDURA® a 3.5mm inserts 3D SPACER Coolmax® leads to lightweight final designwhich is characterised by antibacterial and thermoregulatory properties, thus allowing increased air circulation for moisture removal.
Vesta is equipped with internal elastic beltwhich provides perfect fit a optimum weight distributionso that it can be effortlessly carried around longer time.
Its design offers increased functionality thanks to the strap "PALS " (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) to which equipment pouches can be attached MOLLEwithout compromising ballistic protection, comfort and ease of movement.
"Titanium® Duty III-M " has a four-point adjustment system with elastic bands at the waist that allows quick and easy dressing/undressing. Provided by 360° coverage, while its hook and loop fastening meets the requirements of MIL SPEC F AA-55126B.
Front and rear external pockets allow insertion of ballistic plates of dimensions of 25×30 cm, which increase the level of protection to level III or IV to protect the wearer against rifle fire.
For those interested in an increased level of protection, we recommend the Iridium ballistic plates, in ICW (in conjuction with) version, which, in combination with the soft ballistic insert already found in this vest, provide the ultimate protection at level III ++.
Available with a loop to hold ID cards or service logos.

NIJ 0101.04 STD
The NIJ 0101.04 Ballistic Resistance Testing Standard is a specification developed by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) in the United States that defines requirements and methodologies for evaluating the ballistic resistance of body armour and other ballistic protective equipment. This standard is one of the most recognized and widely used ballistic protection benchmarks in the world.
The main points of the NIJ 0101.04 standard include:
- Classification levels:
- The standard divides ballistic protection into several levels (Level IIA, II, IIIA, III, IV), which specify the ability of the material to withstand different types and calibers of ammunition.
- Level IIA: Protection against low velocity 9mm FMJ and .40 S&W rounds.
- Level II: Protection against medium velocity 9mm FMJ and .357 Magnum rounds.
- Level IIIA: Protection against high velocity .357 SIG and .44 Magnum rounds.
- Level III: Protection against 7.62mm NATO rifle rounds (all-metal jacketed rounds).
- Level IV: Protection against .30-06 AP armor piercing rifle rounds. - Testing procedures:
- The tests involve firing at the protective material from various distances and angles using specified types of ammunition.
- The material is tested to see if it can withstand penetration of the projectile and if acceptable recoil values (deformation on the back of the material) are maintained. - Testing conditions:
- Tests are conducted under controlled laboratory conditions to ensure consistency and reliability of results.
- Materials are tested both in their new state and after exposure to conditions that simulate normal use (e.g. humidity, heat, frost). - Evaluation criteria:
- Protective materials must meet specific limits for bullet penetration and backface deformation to be certified for a given level of protection. - Other requirements:
- The standard also includes requirements for the marking, documentation and manufacturing quality of ballistic protective equipment.
This standard is regularly updated to reflect new knowledge and technology in the field of ballistic protection. NIJ 0101.04 is a key tool for manufacturers, providers and users of ballistic protective equipment, ensuring a high level of safety and reliability.
NIJ 0115.00 STD
The NIJ 0115.00 standard focuses on testing the ballistic resistance of protective equipment such as vests, pads and other protective equipment against knives and other stabbing weapons. This standard was issued by the U.S. National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and specifies test methods and performance requirements for protective equipment to ensure its effectiveness against stab and slashing attacks.
Key aspects of the NIJ 0115.00 standard
- Purpose and scope:
It defines the requirements for protective equipment to protect against stabbing and cutting attacks. This includes body armour and other equipment that is primarily used by police, security forces and other law enforcement agencies. - Threat definition:
The standard distinguishes between different types of stabbing and cutting weapons and threats. Weapons are classified according to the type, shape and size of the blades, which affects the methods of testing and protection assessment. - Levels of protection:
The standard specifies different levels of protection according to the strength and type of attack that the protective device must withstand. Each level specifies the maximum allowable penetration and other parameters that the protective device must meet. - Testing methods:
- Laboratory testing: conducted under controlled conditions where attacks are simulated using standardized stabbing and cutting tools.
- Dynamic testing: tests are conducted using mechanical devices that simulate real attacks at different angles and with different forces. - Performance Requirements:
Protective devices must meet specific requirements for maximum penetration depth, resistance to repeated attacks and overall material integrity after testing. - Documentation and marking:
Products that comply with NIJ 0115.00 shall be clearly marked and documentation shall be provided to confirm their compliance with the requirements of the standard. This includes identification of the level of protection and test results. - Periodic review and update:
The standards are regularly revised and updated to reflect new knowledge and technology in the field of protective equipment.
Thus, NIJ 0115.00 provides a framework for the evaluation and certification of protective equipment against stabbing and cutting weapons, ensuring its effectiveness and reliability in real-world situations.
ANORAK
The Athens-based Greek company has been manufacturing functional and water-resistant clothing for over 30 years. They put this knowledge into the development and production of ballistic vests, both for professionals and the general public.
From Anorak, we offer primarily ballistic vests that provide ballistic level protection as standard III.A and a degree of protection against sharp stabbing.
For most of these vests, the basic level of protection is further extended by standard Soviet calibre types - the TOKAREV a MAKAROV.
All ballistic vests stand out because of the materials used in their manufacture.
RIP-STOP Dry Comfort XT® guarantees durability even when worn "over" a layer of clothing (the outer surface is thus exposed to external influences).PACER Coolmax® fresh with a thickness of 3.5 mm provides an excellent dry feeling on the body - wicks away moisture and regulates body temperature.
Anorak supplies equipment to professionals, all over Europe and their vests typically last up to 10 years, under daily use.
If you are interested in custom production, please do not hesitate to contact us. We strive to meet all requirements, regardless of the size of the order.
