Safariland Adds XT01 Type IIIA Body Armor To ABA Xtreme Series

Safariland has introduced the XT01 Type IIIA body armor model that satisfies the requirements of the National Institute of Justice's Voluntary Body Armor Compliance Testing Program under NIJ Standard-0101.06.

The XT01 Type IIIA is part of Safariland's ABA Xtreme Series of concealable armor and features a flexible, hybrid design that combines Honeywell Gold Shield ballistic material with Twaron Microlaminate.

The model is lightweight and features perimeter stitching throughout, as well as a Grip-Lok panel suspension system. The armor has also been tested against the .357 Sig and .44 Mag NIJ-designated rounds, according to Safariland.

Safariland's line of concealable armor models are certified using NIJ approved size templates C1 and C5 and are available in a variety of sizes.
