Protection Where Standard Plates Stop

Front and back armor protect the largest vital zones, but exposed sides remain vulnerable. The IGY6 Level IV/RF3 Side Plate was developed to extend rifle protection into those areas without turning the carrier into an oversized or restrictive system.

Its Ceramic/PE construction provides a balance of high-threat capability, durability, and practical wearability for users who cannot compromise on protection.
