These new models are available for immediate purchase in concealable and tactical body armor configurations.
"NIJ Standard-0101.06 (NIJ .06) is one of the most stringent, demanding and comprehensive personal body armour standards ever initiated and mandated by the NIJ," said Ron Gburek, Chief Operating Officer for KDH.

KDH remains committed to providing our law enforcement officers and federal agents with the very best in life-saving ballistic protection while simultaneously allowing for comfort, mobility, functionality and operational performance."

NIJ Standard-0101.06, Ballistic Resistance of Body Armour, is the latest evolution in standards by which law enforcement protective vests are measured and establishes minimum performance requirements and test methods for the ballistic resistance of personal body armour intended to protect against gunfire.
