CPE Lightweight Armor Plate, NIJ III+ Stand Alone

An extremely lightweight bulletproof plate for plate carriers and body armor vests. NIJ III+ means these stop the most common "bad guy" guns out there. A single plate weighs only 1.67 kg / 3.6 lbs, which means a pair of these is 3 kg / 6.6 lbs lighter than a pair of ceramic NIJ IV plates! Weight really makes a difference when you want to stay agile and alert for extended periods. On top of all these are waterproof, perfect for maritime use!

At this time we are unfortunately not able to send ballistic armor items outside of Finland due to export restrictions.

NIJ III+ level protection

The NIJ 101.04 standard level III is tested with six hits from a 7.62 NATO rifle. In short, it offers protection from common non-AP rifle rounds.

The suffix + is used by many manufacturers to market plates that offer more protection than just the standard it exceeds. In this case, the extra protection you get is against these rounds:

• 7.62x39 AP
• 5.56x45 mm M193
