Hoplite NIJ Level IV Triple-Curved Swimmer Body Armor Plates – 10×12 Inches, Sold as a Pair (Model 26135)

Description

Dynamic Curvature. Unparalleled Comfort. Stand-Alone Protection. The Hoplite 26135 Triple-Curve Swimmer Plate is one of the most popular and comfortable hard armor plates on the market. Loved by operators for its affordability and dynamic triple-curve architecture, this plate is engineered to contour perfectly to the body, drastically reducing fatigue during extended wear.

This plate is an NIJ 0101.04 Certified Level IV Stand-Alone ballistic solution. It is manufactured from a high-density, reinforced alumina ceramic core (Al2O3) backed with layered polymer composite fiber. Unlike standard steel plates, the advanced fabrication of the 26135 allows projectiles to be safely absorbed within the plate itself, preventing dangerous spall and fragmentation from causing secondary injuries.
