The Ballistic Defence Level IIIA Bulletproof Combat Jacket – Concealed Soft Armor Jacket | WARDEN is designed for cold, wet, and windy conditions where insulation, durability, and freedom of movement are critical. It uses a polyester / elastane stretch outer shell with a water-repellent and breathable finish to help manage moisture while remaining comfortable during extended outdoor wear.

Level IIIA Bulletproof Combat Jacket – Concealed Soft Armor Jacket | WARDEN combines a quilted thermal liner with a reinforced ripstop outer fabric to retain body heat without excessive bulk. This construction supports natural movement and allows for easy layering. Double-stitched seams with reinforced polyamide thread improve resistance to wear and abrasion over time. Total product weight: 1,250 g (±5%).

The ergonomic, stretch-enhanced design supports movement without restriction. An adjustable and detachable hood provides additional weather coverage when needed. Heavy-duty zippers are used throughout for repeated use in outdoor conditions. The Level IIIA Bulletproof Combat Jacket – Concealed Soft Armor Jacket | WARDEN includes nine utility pockets for organized storage. Dual side zippers on both sides allow rapid access to internally carried equipment and add a ventilation channel when needed. Sleeves feature a hook-and-loop cuff adjustment with integrated cold-weather hand-protection sections that extend over the back of the hand. Laser-cut velcro patch panels keep the silhouette clean and reinforce patch durability. An internal chest pocket features a reinforced structure for secure item placement.

This ballistic variant is delivered with integrated Level IIIA soft ballistic armor inserts included. The panels are constructed from high-strength ballistic fabrics such as Aramid and Polyethylene and are independently tested under the NIJ 0101.06 protocol for verified Level IIIA performance against common handgun calibers including 9 mm FMJ and .44 Magnum. Reinforced fabric layers also enhance protection against edged-weapon and blunt-force threats, while maintaining a low-profile fit that preserves the jacket's freedom of movement.
