Frequently asked questions
Ballistic helmet questions
Yes, it can. We have conducted rigorous testing procedures to ensure that our products provide maximum protection for your head. Our helmets offer greater protection than the standard NIJ standard 0106.01, as they are tested against .44 Magnum, .357 SIG and 9 mm FMJ, with an extremely low back face deformation. Furthermore they offer a fragmentation protection of 660 m/s according to STANAG 2920.
To find the right helmet size then measure the circumference of your head with a tape measure. Measure all the way around the head slightly above the ears and approx. 2-3 cm above the eyebrows. You can follow our helmet sizeguide.
Ballistic helmets are made by layering fibers in a mold and pressing them together to form a strong, protective shell. After the helmet takes shape, accessories like pads, chin straps, and rails are added for comfort and functionality. Read more about the manufacturing process.
You will have to follow specific instructions on how to place the helmet velcro. But don’t worry. You will receive a velcro placement guide with your helmet. You can also view our instructional video.
Soft armor questions
In short, yes you CAN. However we do not think you SHOULD. Don't do it because you can never be sure what kind of stress the bulletproof vest has been through and you have no guarantee it works any more.
The common belief is that a bulletproof vest works by deflecting the bullet. This is not accurate.A bulletproof vest is made from several layers of material. The purpose is for the layers to catch the bullet and absorb its energy to distribute the force over a larger surface area. This enables our body to withstand the impact. The user will still have to endure the entire force from the hit, but by distributing the force over a larger area, will only suffer minor damage and bruises instead of being penetrated by the bullet.
In most countries it is legal even for civilians to wear a bulletproof vest in public. The specific rules differ from country to country however. We always suggest checking up on your own specific country of residence.
There are 2 main materials for body armor. UHMWPEThe first material is UHMWPE which is an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, which is a chemical polymerization process in which monomers are converted to polymers. UHMWPE is VERY strong versus its weight, and has a high resistance to both ballistic, sharp edged and pointed instruments. UHMWPE is not only used in bullet proof and stab proof vests, but also in clothing, fishing lines, cut resistant gloves, aircraft containers, sports equipment, clothes, etc. Dyneema from DSMDyneema is one of the most used polyethylene materials in bullet proof vests and according to DSM itself, Dyneema is up to 15 times stronger than steel, and 40% stronger than aramid fibers when considering the weight versus the strength. DSM has many different Dyneema fibers, which all have different properties. AramidAramid is a synthetic fiber that was created back in the 1960s by Stephanie Kwolek. The fiber is known especially from Dupont Kevlar, which were the first company with a commercial version for bullet proof vests, followed by Twaron from Teijin. Aramid is used in bullet proof vests and stab proof vests, as the material is very strong and flexible, and has proven to be stable and safe after many years of use.
No bulletproof vest is capable of protecting against all kinds of rounds. Instead some bulletproof vests protect against certain types of rounds while others are capable of protecting against other types of projectiles and fragments.It's a common misunderstanding that bulletproof vests are capable of protecting against knives, arrows and armor-piercing projectiles. They simply do not, as these will penetrate the layers in a regular bulletproof vest. For threats like these you need specific products for each one.The American standard for specifying which product handles what threat is made and handled by the National Institute of Justice and is called the NIJ standard.Bulletproof vests from Protection Group Danmark qualify NIJ level 3A and can be upgraded to level 4.
Basically the best bulletproof vest is the one that protects you when you need it. Which vest would be the best for you depends on things like:
- What type of ammunition is it required to protect against?
- Does it have to be bulletproof, stab proof or both?
- How heavy is it?
- How does the vest fit your body?
- Which accessories are available and fits with your bulletproof vest?
- What is the price?
It depends a lot on which type of ammunition it is required to protect against and which options for customization and accessories you need. Protection Group Danmark offers these bulletproof vests and use our sizeguide to find out which one suits you the best.
Police and military do not share what types of bulletproof vests they use with the public. This is obviously a matter of safety.

The levels, such as IIIA, III, and IV, refer to the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) standards for ballistic protection.
- Level IIIA: Protects against handgun rounds up to .44 Magnum.
- Level III: Offers protection against rifle rounds, like 7.62mm NATO or .308 Winchester
- Level IV: Provides the highest level of protection, stopping armor-piercing rounds such as .30-06 M2 AP
Other questions about ballistic gear
Yes, we definitely can. A lot of typical questions are answered here in our FAQ but if you still have questions, please send an email to [email protected].
Body vests and plate carriers are both types of body armor, but they serve different purposes:
- Body Vests: Typically consist of soft armor panels that provide protection against handgun threats. They are often designed for everyday wear, offering flexibility and comfort, while covering a large area of the torso.
- Plate Carriers: Designed to hold hard armor plates that offer protection against rifle rounds. Plate carriers are modular, allowing users to add or remove plates as needed and are often used in high-risk environments requiring greater protection.
Worst case it comes at the cost of your life if you buy a product of poor production from an untrustworthy manufacturer. Stab proof vests from Protection Group Danmark are made in Denmark and Europe to ensure high quality craftsmanship and products. You can view our selection of stab proof vests.
All our ballistic products are guaranteed to be without defects for a period of 5-10 years, depending on the product from the date of purchase. After this period, we recommend replacing your gear, as the fibers may degrade over time due to regular use and environmental factors. Read more about warranty.
Hard armor questions
The ICW (In Conjunction With) plate requires a suitable soft ballistic insert in the form of, for example, a protective vest worn underneath. The stand-alone plate meets the respective protection class on its own.
