If you're looking for statute you can link to that says "It's LEGAL!", you're not going to find it.  NJ Statute does not list every possible thing that is legal.  NJ only defines illegal use.

 

Body Armor ("Body Vests") are Illegal to use in the commission of, or escape from, a crime.  Otherwise, they are unregulated in NJ.

My plates should be going out today. The vendor gave the retailer some misinformation about the law in NJ. I sent them an email, and got a response this morning apologizing for the delay.

 

Already have the carrier, now i need to add a few pouches etc to finish the kit
