Product Overview

The Legacy Safety & Security Level III+ plate is engineered for superior mobility and protection. Weighing in at only 4.5 lbs (for the 10x12 Shooter's Cut), this plate features a single-curve design for ergonomic comfort. Constructed with a Silicon Carbide tile array and a UHMWPE backing plate, it provides robust multi-hit protection while remaining lightweight.

Proudly assembled in the USA, this plate is finished with a durable 1000D Nylon cover and is designed to be a Stand-Alone solution for today's most common ballistic threats.

Superior Trauma Protection (Low BFD)

One of the standout features of this plate is its exceptional backface deformation (BFD) performance. While the industry standard requirement allows for up to 44mm of deformation, this plate averages between 27mm and 29mm. This massive reduction in backface signature significantly decreases the risk of blunt force trauma upon impact.
