The Proguard STX plates are designed as an alternative plate set for those not concerned with full powered rifle threats which makes these plates neither an NIJ Level III or Level IV (NIJ 0101.06). These plates are designed outside of the traditional ratings offering up some added protection not included in some of the ratings while dropping others that are.
What makes these plates unique is their combination of stopping power, weight and thickness which make it a popular plate to consider when choosing your body armor.
What size plates are included?
The set comes with 10×12 Shooters Cut plates, if you need smaller or larger plates please order from our Proguard STX plate page.
