NIJ IIIA Tactical Bulletproof Plate Pair UHMWPE

Reliable NIJ IIIA Ballistic Protection for Everyday and Duty Use

This Tactical NIJ IIIA Bulletproof Plate Pair is engineered to deliver dependable handgun protection in a lightweight, low-profile package. Each plate is constructed from advanced UHMWPE composite with comfort foam along the edges and back, then finished with a shooters-cut profile and waterproof polyester cover. Plates are independently tested at Oregon Ballistic Lab (OBL) and manufactured under an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality system.

Designed to meet NIJ Level IIIA (0108.01) performance, these hard panels are tested to stop common handgun threats including 9mm (124gr FMJ at 1425 fps) and .44 Magnum (240gr SJHP at 1403 fps). Available in 10" x 12" and 11" x 14" sizes, with single-curve or multi-curve options, they integrate easily into plate carriers, backpacks, briefcases, and other compatible gear. Each order includes two plates, giving you the flexibility to configure front/back or dual-panel backpack protection as needed.

• Certified NIJ IIIA Performance - Tested to NIJ 0108.01 at OBL in the USA against 9mm and .44 Magnum handgun rounds with multi-shot capability.
• Lightweight, Comfortable Construction - UHMWPE composite and edge/back comfort foam keep each plate around 0.42-0.53 kg (0.93-1.2 lb) for extended wear with reduced fatigue.
• Versatile Sizing and Curvature - Choose 10" x 12" or 11" x 14" in single-curve or ergonomic multi-curve to fit plate carriers or bags while maintaining mobility and range of motion.

FAQ

Q: What protection level do these plates provide?
A: They are NIJ Level IIIA (0108.01) hard panels, tested against 9mm 124gr FMJ at 1425 fps and .44 Magnum 240gr SJHP at 1403 fps.

Q: Are these plates sold individually or as a pair?
A: The package includes two plates (one pair) in the size and curvature you select.

Q: Can these plates stop rifle rounds?
A: No. NIJ IIIA is intended for handgun threats. Rifle protection requires appropriate rifle-rated plates (e.g., NIJ Level III/IV).

Q: Will they fit in a backpack?
A: Yes. The 10" x 12" and 11" x 14" profiles are suitable for many backpacks and bags, provided the internal compartment is large enough.

Q: Why might there be wrinkles or dents in the foam on arrival?
A: Panels are shipped in protective air tube packaging. Any minor wrinkles or dents are typically from compression during transit and the comfort foam will usually recover its original shape after a few days.

Q: What is the difference between single-curve and multi-curve?
A: Single-curve plates have one gentle curve, while multi-curve plates are shaped more anatomically to the torso for improved fit, comfort, and mobility during long periods of wear.
