FAQs
Which protection level is right for me?
The right protection level depends on the type of threat you expect. Body armor is certified according to international standards like VPAM (Vereinigung der Prüfstellen für Angriffshemmende Materialien und Konstruktionen) or the NIJ (National Institute of Justice), which define the ammunition and impact energy a vest can stop. To learn more about the different international NIJ and European VPAM certifications, you can read our article here
How do I know which size fits me?
Each vest is designed to provide a close and secure fit without restricting movement. To find your correct size, measure your chest and shoulders at their widest points and compare them with our size chart.
Your vest should cover your vital organs on the front, back, and sides while allowing you to breathe and move comfortably. If you’re between sizes or unsure, choose the larger size for better coverage, or contact us for personal fitting advice.
What can I do if my vest doesn’t fit or I’m not satisfied with it?
You can always return your vest. Every vest includes a return tag, please keep this tag attached while fitting. If the tag is still in place, you’ll always receive a full refund.

SB and HB — what do they stand for?
At DBA, we value clarity. That’s why we don’t make things more complicated than they need to be. The SB collection stands for Soft Body Armor, with each number representing a different model. The HB collection stands for Hard Body Armor and follows the same logic.
