What do the protection levels mean and what do they stop?
Is it legal for civilians to wear body armour?

Yes, anyone can wear body armour.

Does one size fit all?

No, Bulletproof Vests come in different sizes. Kaleidoscope Technology™ Vests are available in sizes  Medium to 6XL. The design of our Vests has a 4-point fully adjustable system to accommodate different types of body build, i.e. one size can fit more than one body type / build.

Do you have to buy a different type of bulletproof vest for women?

Kaleidoscope Technology™ Vests are unisex as the raw materials used to manufacture our vests are soft and flexible.

What level protection will be sufficient for me?

The level of protection differs for each individual and is determined by the situation and level of threat he/she would encounter. For instance, a Level IIIA Kaleidoscope Technology™ Vest offers sufficient protection where handguns are used – but in case of rifle fire, Level III body armour has to be worn. Please refer to the table below or contact us for expert guidance on the “correct” protection level for your situation.

Will a bulletproof vest protect me at close distances?

Kaleidoscope Technology™ Bulletproof vests have been tested and approved by the SABS in accordance with SABS / NIJ standards i.e. hand weapons @ 5 meters (Level IIIA) and assault / hunting rifles @ 15 meters (Levels III and IV).

What size bulletproof vest am I?
The best indicator will be the size of shirt that you wear. All vital organs should be covered by the soft armour. Please refer to our Body armour measurement guide
