Overview
Compass Armor's 11x14 insert is the lightest soft panel in this field at 1.24 pounds and the thinnest at 0.2 inch. The page identifies an aramid ballistic package using Kevlar or Twaron and a waterproof nylon cover. SKU SAP1114A-3A is the 11x14 version; the same page also sells a separate, heavier 12x16 variant.
Compass states Level IIIA under NIJ 0101.06 and says a U.S. NIJ-credentialed laboratory performed the testing. That supports a tested-to claim, not an NIJ Compliance Testing Program certification claim. As Level IIIA soft armor, the panel is for handgun threats and does not stop rifle rounds.
