Description
The Protection Group Denmark (PGD) Lightweight Level III+ is designed for operators who prioritize speed and mobility above all else. Manufactured in Europe using a high-density Polyethylene (UHMWPE) structure, this plate offers robust rifle protection at a fraction of the weight of traditional ceramic or steel plates.
Weighing just 3.3 lbs (1.5 kg) for the standard 10×12″ shooter’s cut, this is a true Stand Alone solution that stops high-velocity threats like the M80 Ball and M193 without requiring soft armor backing. The main plates feature a Multi-Curve design for superior comfort, while the smaller side plates utilize a Single Curve profile.
