Small Polyethylene Level III Rifle Plate
Soft Body Armor vests (e.g., Kevlar) are excellent for fragmentation and pistol protection but will NOT stop rifle bullets. (Even Level III-A is only tested to stop pistol-caliber threats such as 9mm SUB-machine-gun or .44 Magnum.)
Plates, also described as Small Arms Protective Inserts or SAPI, are best deployed in Rifle Plate Pockets on the outershell carrier of Tactical Vests or, more discreetly, in our ProMAX Concealable with Rifle Plate Pockets.
Rifle Plates may also be used in a stand-alone configuration – as appropriate for the threat – with a stand-alone Rifle Plates Carrier Harness (very handy if your vest doesn't have Rifle Plate Pockets).

Level III Protection Plus
Level III plate armor is the serious body armor solution against pistol, SMG and automatic rifle fire. This armor will offer excellent protect against all pistol rounds, and most common rifle rounds, and is effective against .308 Winchester (7.62 NATO) bullets (165 grain) at a velocity of 2,750 FPS. This armor is also effective against all threats mentioned in the Soft Armors Category (Levels I-A - III-A). Type III body armor is clearly intended only for tactical situations when the threat warrants such protection, such as barricade confrontations involving automatic rifles. |
