Design Philosophy
Weight Means Everything
Side armor provides critical additional coverage, but it should not create unnecessary fatigue or restrict movement. The Level III/RF1 side plate was developed for users who need dependable rifle protection while keeping their equipment as light and efficient as possible.
At only one pound, the plate helps reduce cumulative load across the carrier and allows the wearer to move, work, and remain effective for longer periods. Its single-curve profile improves comfort while the pure polyethylene construction delivers protection without the weight associated with heavier materials.
