Bullet Proof Vests (Category ID 2389)
The Bullet Proof Vests category, identified by the numeric ID 2389, falls under the Business & Industrial > Work Safety Protective Gear hierarchy. This specific classification is designed for high-performance protective body armor intended for ballistic protection.
This category is intended for tactical vests, concealable armor, and specialized ballistic gear designed for safety professionals and authorized security personnel. Examples from the US market include hybrid tactical vests, multi-threat body armor, and concealable level IIIA ballistic vests. These items are strictly engineered to provide defensive protection against projectile threats rather than general workplace safety apparel or accessories.
Items that do not belong here include general-purpose safety equipment found within the same parent category. Do not list protective eyewear, hardhats, hazardous material suits, safety gloves, protective aprons, work safety tethers, gas mask and respirator accessories, work safety harnesses, welding helmets, safety knee pads, or general protective masks here. These items must be mapped to their specific Google product category paths within Work Safety Protective Gear to ensure proper ad delivery and attribute matching.
There are no subcategories for this classification; this is the most specific level available in the Google product taxonomy.
In your feed, use either the ID 2389 or the full path: Business & Industrial > Work Safety Protective Gear > Bullet Proof Vests. While this attribute is optional, providing it prevents Google from miscategorizing your inventory. Note that product_type is a separate, merchant-defined field and does not replace this mandatory taxonomy requirement.
