Considerations & Trade-offs
- Level III NIJ 0101.06 certification indicates a specific protection standard; it is not a claim of protection against every rifle threat or armor-piercing ammunition.
- The full cut, single curve design is shaped for fit on the rear of a plate carrier, so compatibility and comfort will depend on the carrier and user setup.
- This is a hard plate, so it adds the protection profile of rigid armor rather than the lighter feel of softer options.
- The product description does not provide size, weight, or material details beyond the listed 10" x 12" format, so buyers should verify carrier fit before ordering.
