PGD LW+ SA Lightweight plate NIJ level 3 (III)

Our PGD LW+ NIJ III SAPI plate is for when you need protection against more powerful weapons than handguns, for example rifles such as M80 and AK47.

It leaves space to move your arms without the plate getting in the way. This makes it a natural part of the body so you can continue to perform at the top level.

These rounds are among the most frequently encountered threats in combat and high-risk environments, and the PGD LW+ SA plate is designed to neutralize them, providing reliable defense in life-threatening situations.

It is an incredibly strong bulletproof plate against multiple hits, because we uphold the highest quality in the production. The plates have an anti Back face signature liner, which protects your internal organs from the force of the impacts, so you stay alive.

This hard armor plate is a high-performance ballistic protection solution designed for professionals who require both durability and comfort in high-risk situations. With its SAPI cut and dimensions of 30×25 cm, this plate fits seamlessly into most tactical plate carriers, offering critical coverage for the chest and back. Its multi-curved design further enhances the comfort, allowing the plate to naturally follow the contours of the body. This ensures a secure and comfortable fit, even during extended periods of wear, without compromising mobility or flexibility in active scenarios.

Lightweight SA plate

Despite its strong ballistic capabilities, the plate remains lightweight, making it an ideal choice for those who require advanced protection without the added weight of traditional hard armor.

We use quality materials from Honeywell and Dyneema to keep the weight down on the plate and at the same time ensure that it is resistant to multi-hits. The plate is 100% HPPE (High performance Polyethylene), which is made to put in the side of your combat vest.

The advantage of a 100% polyethylene SAPI plate is that the weight is much lower than a ceramic plate. Polyethylene can often handle several impacts in the same area, which are located close to each other. The plate is produced under extreme pressure, which means that it can withstand being dropped and still be resistant to any combat situation.

Benefits of this SAPI plate

The plate is covered with a liquid-repellent Cordura cover, which protects the ballistic properties against water, oil and similar liquids.

To ensure the plate’s long-term durability, it is encased in a protective layer of foam. This added layer safeguards the plate from impact, such as being dropped, preserving its ballistic integrity and maintaining its combat readiness. We incorporate this feature because we believe that compromising on safety is never acceptable.
