SMI Bulletproof Jackets are engineered to deliver superior ballistic protection while maintaining operational comfort and mobility. Designed in compliance with NIJ-STD standards of the USA and BIS requirements, our jackets are available in multiple protection levels, configurations, and wearable formats for military, police, and VIP security applications.
The protection level and coverage area of a bulletproof jacket are critical factors in determining its effectiveness in hostile environments. Ballistic threats vary depending on bullet composition, shape, caliber, mass, impact angle, and velocity. SMI Bulletproof Jackets are engineered to counter these threats while maintaining wearer comfort and operational flexibility.
Manufactured using advanced quilted aramid fabrics, trauma pads, and ceramic strike plates, our jackets are available in covert, overt, and executive vest configurations. They can be worn either under or over clothing depending on mission requirements and threat levels.
All SMI Bullet Resistant Jackets are developed in accordance with NIJ-STD (National Institute of Justice) standards of the USA and comply with BIS requirements. Rigorous in-house R&D and ballistic testing ensure every product meets demanding operational and safety standards.
