The PGD S-LW-ICW+ is a super lightweight hard armor plate designed to provide high ballistic protection while maintaining maximum comfort for the wearer. With dimensions of 30×25 cm and a SAPI cut, this plate is designed to fit securely and efficiently within a variety of tactical plate carriers, offering coverage in vital areas such as the chest and back. The multi-curved shape further enhances its ergonomic design, allowing the plate to contour to the body’s natural form. This ensures a comfortable fit, even during extended periods of wear or when performing highly physical activities, without restricting mobility.
One of the key features of the PGD S-LW-ICW+ is that it is an “In Conjunction With” (ICW) plate. This means it requires the additional use of NIJ 3A soft armor underneath to provide full NIJ level III protection. When combined with soft armor, the plate effectively stops threats such as 7.62×51 NATO M80, 7.62×39 MSC from AK-47s, and 5.56×45 M193 rounds.
The lightweight nature of this plate is achieved without sacrificing ballistic protection, making it ideal for professionals who need reliable defense but can’t afford the burden of heavy armor. Whether used by military personnel, law enforcement, or security professionals, the PGD S-LW-ICW+ hard armor plate offers a superior balance between protection, comfort, and mobility, ensuring safety and agility in high-risk situations.
