Level 1 body armor is generally 8 or 9 layers thick of kevlar and will stop a .22LR and .380 full metal jacket round nose bullets.

Then you'd want every single layer. Nuclear winters are cold, anyway. And anything thick enough to stop your average bullet is going to be impractically bulky, so maybe they're going for injury reduction, not prevention? Or possibly knife fights.

Armor, no. It looks a little thin even for Level I, which I understand to be comprised of something less than 16 layers of kevlar and wouldn't even stop a 9mm. You're gonna need something thicker than that walking around the weather refugee zone wearing WHITE, fer crissakes. Lovely, yes. Armor, no.
