No government proof required.

The soft ballistic vest Delta from PGD offers high protection according to NIJ Level IIIA (3A), tested to withstand the latest and most advanced threats from some of the most common handguns, up to .357 SIG FMJFN, .44 Magnum SJHP. In addition to ballistic protection, this vest also provides high cut and stab protection up to 55 Joules. It takes a lot of force to penetrate the DELTA vest (the usual standard for a bulletproof vest is 20 Joules).

This bullet-resistant vest is excellent as a base for "ICW" hard ballistic plates due to its lightweight and wearing comfort.

The Delta vest features insert pockets for hard ballistic plates measuring 10x12"! This standard size can be directly combined with the soft ballistic. Thick PE plates also fit easily into the vest.

The PGD Delta is very light at approximately 2.1 kg (size L) and the ballistic insert is only 4.9 mm thick, making it ideal for concealed carry by operational forces. The carrying system is lined with Outlast® PCM technology: this NASA-developed material helps keep the body temperature regulated and provides maximum wearing comfort, tested for up to 14 hours straight!

Protection class IIIA is often compared to the German SK1, but it is superior in certain parameters - SK1 is only tested with 9mm and SK2 only with .357 Mag., while IIIA also includes the significantly stronger calibers .357 SIG and .44 Mag. It is ballistically more comparable to the new European VPAM PM4 & PM5, which have no equivalent in the German SK.

The key features at a glance:

- NIJ Level IIIA (3A) - .357 SIG FMJFN, .44 Magnum SJHP, .357 Mag., 9mm Luger, 7.62 Tokarev
- NIJ 0115.00 S1 55 Joules - stab protection, making it twice as stab-resistant as most other bulletproof vests.
- Ultra-thin – the ballistic insert measures only 4.9 mm.
- Size L = 2.1 kg (including textile cover and ballistic inserts)
- UNISEX
- Additionally cut and stab resistant (3 in 1)

Size chart:

Note: If you are exactly between two sizes, the smaller size is easier to conceal but leaves a gap of 1 inch (2.5 cm) on each side without protection. The larger size overlaps and can therefore be a bit more difficult to conceal.

- Aramid (Aromatic Polyamides) – e.g. Kevlar, Twaron, Gold Flex (brand names)
- PE-UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene with high density) – e.g. Dyneema and Spectra (brand names)

Here is a list of the most important type classes as well as the corresponding protective effect / caliber strength:

- Type IIA - 9x19, .40 S&W, .45ACP – all FMJ
- Type II - 9mm +P FMJ, .357 Magnum SJSP
- Type IIIA - .357 SIG FMJFN, .44 Magnum SJHP

- Type III - 7.62x51 NATO M80 ball FMJ
- Type IV - .30-06 Spring. M2 AP

Protective effect / stab protection: NIJ Standard–0115.00 (external link)

Here, the stab energy is given in Joules that acts on the vest.

- Level 1 - E1: 24J, E2: 36J
- Level 2 - E1: 33J, E2: 50J
- Level 3 - E1: 43J, E2: 65J
