This Level IV standalone ballistic plate is engineered to deliver high-level rifle protection while significantly reducing overall weight for improved mobility and comfort. Measuring 9.85 inches by 11.8 inches with an approximate thickness of 0.86 inches, the plate weighs about 5.7 pounds, offering a substantial reduction compared to traditional Level IV armor. Construction combines an advanced ceramic strike surface with fullplate UHMWPE backing, designed to stop 7.62mm armorpiercing projectiles traveling at approximately 2,880 feet per second under NIJ 0101.06 testing.Additional protection is provided through two layers of frontfacing aramid fiber to reduce ceramic spall, paired with a rearfacing trauma pad to help mitigate blunt force transfer. A shootercut profile improves arm articulation and facilitates a more natural shouldering position when handling firearms. The singlecurve geometry and waterproof polyester cover support comfort, durability, and consistent performance during extended wear in demanding operational environments.
