Level III body armor needs to be durable, fit comfortably and provide the necessary level of protection. The right body armor makes all the difference in getting “there and back” safely.
Plates with NIJ level 3 body armor ratings come in both ceramic/composite and steel versions. Ceramic/composite usually consist of aluminum oxide combined with either ultra-strength polyethylene or aramid synthetic fiber backing. Level 3 body armor plates provide excellent protection against most small arms threats.
According to the NIJ, level III body armor will protect against all handgun rounds and rifle fire up to 7.62mm armor-piercing FMJ ammunition. To achieve Level III body armor plate ratings, they must be capable of withstanding six NATO 7.62 hits at a velocity of 2,780 fps.
We offer level 3 body armor plates for sale in both SAPI and shooters cuts. All plates are coated with cordura finishing and come in the following sizes:
We also offer ceramic/composite body armor packages to supply customers with the basics they need for top-tier protection.
Level III ceramic/composite body armor is found in plate carriers used by military members, first responders, law enforcement, civilian security guards, investigators, preppers, home defenders and others facing potential threats from small arms fire.
