Whatever they had was an aramid of some type but NOT necessarily Kevlar. The source I found couldn't specify it past the aramid family.

Class III will stop handguns but to jim bob with a 7mm dear rifle you are dead and if they are a good shot just head or groin shoot them with a hand gun frick the police state that is California

The reason it was so effective for those two guys was that they had automatic weapons while the cops only had handguns and shotguns.

Kind of hard to hit a head shot with one of those at distance to begin with, let alone while two jackasses are unloading fully automatic AKs at you.

However, aramid body armor worn by Phillips and Matasareanu covered all of their vitals (except their heads) while providing more bullet resistance than standard-issue police Kevlar vests, enabling them to deflect pistol bullets and shotgun pellets, while Matasareanu's chest armor even successfully withstood a hit from a SWAT operator's AR-15.
