The Passion Behind The Plate

Our NIJ certified plates are the lightest in the industry, have a 10 year warranty, and out perform every other plate pound for pound. And, we don't have very many pounds at 2.5psf!

When the NIJ '06 standard was in vogue we were designing to defeat more advanced threats like the AK047 MSC and M193 up to 77gr. The current '07 standard includes these three rounds so we advanced our design and testing to not only qualify against the '07 threats, but also the 30-06, 7.62x54R and 6.5 Creedmoor.

Our pursuit of the most advanced designs with the best and lightest materials is never ending - it is our Passion.
