Nothing in the real world is really bulletproof. According to the international criteria for ballistic resistance, Kevlar-made bulletproof vests are genuinely bullet resistant and graded to a specified level of protection. Although bulletproof vests claim to protect the wearer from every possible threat, they are really built to withstand just a limited number of calibers, as well as a limited number of types of bullets. Another sort of body armor with very particular ballistic systems is required for protection against stab wounds. You do not become Superman just by wearing a bulletproof vest.

The vast majority of today’s body armor is warranted for between five and ten years. The vests are built to last for a specific amount of time. Body armor that is used daily loses its protective capacity more quickly than that which is stored away. It doesn’t matter how long the body armor has been worn; it should be thoroughly checked for signs of wear and tear, including creases, tears, and odors. If the vest is properly cared for, it should endure for the duration of the guarantee and even beyond.

Having two armor carriers is a good idea. In this way, even if you just washed one of them, you’ll always have a vest that’s ready to go. If you don’t do this, you run the risk of not wearing your vest once it has been cleaned. You need at least two carriers: one for washing and one for wearing.

The vest’s genuine bullet resistance is provided by its ballistic panels. You must follow the instructions in the manual to guarantee that they work properly. Use a moist sponge and mild soap to clean the vest’s ballistic panels. Keep out of the washing machine and dryer. To avoid causing the fibers of the garment to burn or melt, never use an iron on them.
