When light weight is a priority, the AR500 Armor Level III Lightweight UHMWPE plate is one of the best. It offers comparable protection to AR500 Armor’s steel core plates while weighing nearly 70% less. At a mere 3.3 pounds with multiple axis curvature and built-in rear-facing padding, this plate’s comfort level is simply unparalleled. It doesn’t skimp on safety, either; with an NIJ 0101.06 rating and multi-hit protection capabilities, it provides top-notch ballistic protection. With its water-resistant polyurea coating and positive buoyancy, this plate is a must-have if you work in wet conditions. Made in the USA with a five year, maintenance-free shelf life, the quality of this plate is second to none.
