An ESAPI plate provide ultra protection

The PGD-Uline can be used as a stand-alone, so you do not need soft armor. It is designed in a multi curve that makes the plate sit nicely to the body because it is shaped for the chest and abdomen. The plate is made of one large piece of Monolithic SIC ceramic. It gives you the lightest and at the same time the strongest ceramics we have available for NIJ level 4.

Our PGD U-line ESAPI plate is protected by a thin layer of foam all the way around the plate against impact and hard use. The advantage of a ceramic plate is that SS109 / M855 / m193 and Armour-piercing impacts are stopped where they will penetrate steel. At the back of the plate, we have built our Anti Back Face Signature line. It provides extra protection against the impact of the bullet, so you do not die from the impact.

In short, a PGD U-line plate is your extra body mate that covers you when you need it most.

 

  • PGD active ceramic area
    The use of Monolithic SIC ceramics also provides the opportunity to make an edge-to-edge ceramics, so that the ceramics cover the entire front of the plate.

    If your plate is not protected from edge to edge, the plate will protect a smaller area of ​​your body than it appears. It is much cheaper to produce without edge-to-edge ceramic, but it would also protect about ⅓ less of your body.
  • Designed for extreme environments
    Our PGD U-line ESAPI plate is designed so that you can perform well in extreme environments where it is either hot or very cold. This makes the plate very popular among soldiers operating in the Middle East, for example.

    Although water and oil on the plate are not fatal to your body, a PGD U-line plate is sealed with a water-repellent Cordura cover. This means that your ESAPI plate can and does help to extend its shelf life.
