Our Level IIIA Hard Armor plates provide significant injury reduction as compared to soft armor of the same level due to minimized backface deformation. Hard Armor plates are also much easier to wear concealed as they conform better to the body, which in turn improves long term wearability.

All our Hard Armor Plates are Made in the USA by LTC, Leading Technology Composites, the worlds largest and most respected body armor manufacturer.

Specific weights and sizes are listed below. All figures are nominal. Some variation based on manufacturing tolerance may apply.
