Choosing ballistic jackets and hoodies
Hoodie, softshell jacket or jacket-style vest
The Krypton hoodie is for people who want protection nobody notices. It is built on a cotton-blend hoodie shell with the ballistic panel inside, weighs under 3 lb and suits commuting, travel and everyday wear.
The Sentinel is a rugged softshell built around three overlapping ballistic panels that cover the front, back and sides of the torso. It is waterproof, has multiple pockets and is made for riding, outdoor use and long days in bad weather.
The MILES vest looks like a jacket and protects like a vest. It is a lightweight, flexible outer layer for executives, off-duty officers, journalists and families who want discreet protection.
What the panels are rated for
The Krypton and Sentinel panels are certified to NIJ 0101.06, and the MILES vest carries NIJ Level IIIA panels. NIJ Level IIIA is designed to stop rounds such as 9mm, .357 SIG, .44 Magnum and .45 ACP. These are soft armor garments made for handgun threats. For rifle rounds, pair them with Level III or Level IV plates.
No armor stops every threat. Read the level and the rounds it is tested against before you choose, and let the certification, not the marketing, guide the decision.
Sizes and fit
The table lists the size range of each garment. Measure over the shirt you wear most days, not bare skin, and check the size chart before you order.
Care, warranty and the Survivors Club
Always remove the ballistic panels before washing. The Krypton hoodie can be machine washed cold on a gentle cycle. The Sentinel should be air dried only, to keep its waterproofing.
Remove the ballistic panel before washing, wash cold and air dry. Ballistic warranties run 8 to 10 years depending on the product and cover the ballistic performance of the panel from the date of purchase. Through the Survivors Club, a garment struck by a projectile in service is repaired or replaced free.

Questions people ask
Is the Krypton hoodie really a ballistic hoodie?
Yes. It has a certified ballistic panel inside a cotton-blend hoodie shell and is certified to NIJ 0101.06. It is built for handgun threats at the level on its product page, and like all armor it does not stop every threat.
Can people tell it is body armor?
The Krypton hoodie looks and feels like a standard hoodie and the panel is fully covert. The Sentinel is a technical softshell, so it reads as a serious jacket rather than a hidden one.
Is the Sentinel jacket waterproof?
Yes. It has a waterproof, weatherproof softshell outer. Air dry it only, and take the ballistic panels out before washing.
What warranty do the jackets and hoodies have?
The Krypton and Sentinel carry an 8 year ballistic warranty and the MILES vest a 10 year ballistic warranty. The Survivors Club repairs or replaces a garment struck by a projectile in service.
How long does shipping take?
Garments ship within 3 to 7 business days. Unworn garments can be returned within 30 days of purchase, and custom armor is final sale. The shipping and returns policies have the details.
