Level II Concealable Vests
Level
II is thinner, lighter, and more easily concealed under light clothing
than Level III-A - but less blunt trauma protection. (Level
II-A is the thinnest and lightest, and the minimum protection level
recommended.)

Level III-A
Concealable Vests
Tested
for unusual threats: 9mm sub-machine-gun and .44 Magnum. Not
likely to see those threats on the street, but more blunt trauma protection
than Level II for the likely threats. The tradeoff is that 3A is a
little thicker, heavier and harder to conceal.
