This ICW plate is intended solely for use in combination with Type IIIA soft armor panel/backbone – proving maximum ballistic protection on and off the battlefield while remaining as lightweight as possible.
Classified as an ICW (In Conjunction With) plate, to reach the highest protection level, this plate should be used in combination with NIJ 0101.06 Type IIIA soft-armor backbone. Utilizing the protection of said soft-armor, ICW plates can be made thinner and lighter than their stand-alone counterparts. Specifically for use in soft-armor lined vests/carriers, this plate helps you save weight, and increase mobility.
Our armor plates cover a wide range of ballistic threats from handguns to high-powered rifles – find which protection level suits your needs.
Level IV+ means that being independently tested, as well as protecting from all threats included in the NIJ 0101.06 Level IV (7.62×51 API, 7.62x54R API) and all threats from lower levels (22 LR; 38 Special; 357 Magnum; 9 mm; 9×18 mm Makarov, 7.62×25 mm Tokarev; AK-47, AK-74, AKM rifle rounds such as 7.62×39 57-N-231 Steel Core FMJ, 5.45×39 7N6 Steel Core FMJ, 9×18 mm Makarov, 7.62×25 mm Tokarev), these plates will prevent penetration from 5.56 mm NATO, 7.62 mm NATO.
Unlike traditional solutions, our ballistic plates are designed to absorb the kinetic kick delivered from a bullet by engulphing the projectile – simultaneously eliminating ricochet. This means you can keep fighting even after taking multiple hits.
Your armor could save your life, so know it like the back of your hand. Utilizing a unique UHMWPE molding technique and super-strong Silicone Carbide ceramic this ballistic plate backbone is on the bleeding edge of body armor. This heavy-duty material combination ensures maximum durability and protection.
Despite offering uncompromising protection, this armor plate maintains a thickness of only 0.83” and a weight of 5.0 lbs (S size). These impressive standards put less strain on the body, helping reduce the weight of your rig and increase mobility.
When struck by a bullet the ceramic elements shatters into potentially dangerous fragments, absorbing kinetic energy in the process. To combat this our plates incorporate a special polyurethane coating, ensuring all-ceramic fragments remail safely contained and helping absorb additional shock.
Designed to mimic the human body, our 3D Multi-Curved design incorporates both horizontal and verticle curvature. The results in better overall comfort, mobility, and weight distribution – making your vest feel lighter and more accommodating.
