Ballistic plates and panels

Ballistic plates and panels are a core part of modern protective equipment, providing additional protection against firearm threats and fragmentation. They are designed to be used with plate carriers and body armor systems.

The selection includes a range of armor plates and ballistic panels intended for military, law enforcement and security use, as well as demanding civilian applications. Solutions range from lightweight panels to more robust plates designed for higher levels of protection.

Ballistic plates are manufactured from different materials such as ceramic, steel and polyethylene-based composites, each offering specific advantages in terms of weight, durability and multi-hit capability.

Protection levels are defined according to international standards, most commonly the NIJ (National Institute of Justice) classification system (e.g. IIIA, III, IV), where each level is tested against specific threat types ranging from handguns to rifle calibers.

Armor plates are available in different shapes and cuts, such as SAPI, Shooter’s Cut and Swimmer’s Cut, which affect ergonomics and mobility when used with body armor systems.

When selecting the right solution, key factors include protection level, weight, comfort and compatibility with your plate carrier or body armor setup.
