*ICW - In Conjunction With - IIIA: This armour plate requires soft NIJ IIIA armour backing to reach the specified level of protection! For example a SAPI cut NIJ IIIA insert. The manufacturer has not tested or specified any protection level for ICW plates used alone without NIJ IIIA backing.

If you are unfamiliar with the NIJ rating system check out this chart for further reference.

NIJ III++ is not an "official" NIJ level, but one of many "better than III" levels that manufacturers use to distinguish their plates from the standard III and IV level ones. III++ level plates are tested to take multiple hits of the SS109 cartridge.
