Rifle Plates - OVERVIEW Page Here


Our Ceramic plates are exceptional quality...

Reliable...

Ceramic Rifle Plates of Alumina Oxide 98%, bonded to Aramid fiber:

  • exceed protection levels as specified by NIJ 01.0105, and

  • manufactured to ISO 9001 quality assurance standards (International Standards Organization).

Plates you can stake your life on with confidence:

Armor Piercing Threats Stopped:

Caliber
Bullet

Not Just "One-Hit Wonders"

Full-size plates are tested to be BOTH Level III AND Level IV

When used as directed, our Ceramic Rifle Plates will defeat MULTIPLE, spaced* hits of common rifle ammunition threats:

Caliber

* yes, if 2 rounds hit in almost exactly the same spot you are probably out of luck! The NIJ test standard is a minimum 2" (5 cm.) spacing between rounds, and 3" (8 cm.) from the edge of plate.

Our Ceramic Rifle Plates are the full thickness out to the edge of the plate (as far as practical). We DON'T cut corners lightening up a plate by "cheating the test" and thinning the outer edge of the plate.


Lighter...

Designing the plate to work in conjunction with a vest, as an integrated system, gives you Level III and IV protection and saves ~4 pounds of weight (1.8 kg.) over a pair of plates!


Ergonomic...

Many Rifle Plates are only curved in one dimension, but all our full-size Ceramic plates are curved in THREE dimensions to more closely conform to your body contours – like a moulded breast-plate or back-plate. This means a snugger fit and less bouncing when you move, not to mention better protection, and less bulk to hinder your movement.

WARNING:  U.S. EXPORT CONTROL LAWS

Level III and IV armor (Rifle Plates) fall under the jurisdiction of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), and is subject to the export control laws of the U.S. Government. Export or retransfer of Rifle Plates by any means to any foreign end user, or for any other end use, whether in the U.S. or abroad, without the written approval of the U.S. Department of State, is prohibited.

There is often an exemption for a U.S. person taking their personal protection with them in their luggage, and returning the armor to the US.  For the requirements, click here. One of the forms required may be found here.

 

Ceramic Rifle Plates are NOT RETURNABLE
(except for warranty).

Ceramic Rifle Plates can be damaged if abused, or improperly shipped, and we cannot accept that legal liability.

Carefully measure your Rifle Plate Pockets for inside dimensions to see what plate size - and shape - you need.

Please know that many Eagle, BlackHawk and other plate carriers are not designed for the more rectangular Back plates (only clipped corner plates even on the back). You may need to order two Front plates to fit your carrier.

It is your responsibility to verify compatibility with your equipment.
