The term 'BodyArmor' can refer to a popular sports drink or personal ballistic protection, leading to significant confusion about its lifespan. The lifespan of these two products varies dramatically, with one being a perishable consumer beverage and the other a piece of life-saving equipment with a much longer, but still limited, service life.

While body armor is designed to protect wearers from ballistic threats, questions often arise about the materials used and their potential health risks. Manufacturers must carefully balance the protective capabilities of materials like aramid fibers and ceramics with wearer safety and comfort. The vast majority of modern body armor components are considered safe when used as intended, but understanding their composition and specific use-case risks is crucial.
