Hard armor plates are rifle-rated ballistic plates that stop threats soft armor cannot, from common rifle rounds up to armor-piercing. We carry a full range of American-made hard armor in ceramic and polyethylene, across every protection level, from trusted manufacturers including Hesco and LTC. Shop by level below: Level III for common rifle threats, Level III+ for added green tip coverage, Special Threat for the lightest plates and AK protection, and Level IV for armor-piercing protection.
Not sure which level you need? Our guide to the levels of body armor walks through the threats each level stops, and our ceramic vs polyethylene guide covers the material choice. For the full Hesco lineup, see our Hesco plates guide.
