Advanced Threat Protection: Independently tested and verified to meet NIJ 0101.06 Level IV standards, these plates are capable of defeating armor-piercing rifle rounds up to .30-06 M2 AP, providing robust defense against some of the most formidable ballistic threats.
Impact Energy Dissipation: Crafted from ultra-lightweight micro-cellular urethane foam, every purchase of ceramic plates includes non-ballistic trauma pads that effectively reduce backface deformation by dispersing impact energy, thereby minimizing the force transmitted to your body.
(Optional) Close-Quarters Combat Protection: When operating in confined spaces, side shots become more likely due to dynamic movement and lateral angles. The optional level III+ steel side plates give you the confidence that comes with knowing you have full, 360-degree coverage.
True Multi-Curve Design: Utilizing Spartan Armor Systems' Advanced Compound Curve (ACC) technology, these plates offer a genuine multi-curve shape that conforms ergonomically to the wearer's body, enhancing comfort during extended wear—an essential feature for prolonged missions.
Full Edge-to-Edge Protection: Unlike many ceramic plates that offer reduced protective areas, the Spartan lvl IV Ceramic Body Armor provides a full 10” x 12” coverage, ensuring comprehensive defense across the entire plate surface.
Lightweight Composition: Weighing approximately 6.9 lbs per plate, the plates strike an optimal balance between protection and mobility. Their construction from ceramic and UHMWPE materials reduces fatigue, allowing for greater endurance in the field.
