NIJ 06 Level III+ Multi-Curve UHMWPE Plates — Stand Alone Protection

Not all heroes wear capes—some wear flat-out reliable body armor plates that laugh in the face of 7.62x39 mild steel core rounds. These NIJ 06 Certified Level III+ swimmer plates are the kind of serious protection that also won’t weigh you down or steal your dignity.

Made for first responders, security professionals, and anyone who wants hard-hitting ballistic protection without turning into a backpack turtle. Part of the AXG Life — Life, Adventure-Ready lineup: protective enough for work, comfortable enough for the rest of your questionable decisions.

• Sold: In pairs — front and back coverage ready out of the box.

Performance & Benefits

These plates keep the math simple: high-strength UHMWPE equals lighter weight than steel with comparable multi-hit performance for the specified threats. The multi-curve swimmer profile hugs your chest so you can move, bend, and not sound like a marching tin can.

Practical benefits you'll actually notice:

• Reduced fatigue on long shifts or patrols — less weight, more endurance.
• Stand-alone performance means you don't have to pair with ceramic or other inserts to get rated protection against the listed threats.
• Black Linex finish resists scuffs and keeps a low profile in the field.
• Sold in pairs so you’re ready to deploy—no awkward waiting for a matching plate.

In short: this is serious protection that behaves like modern gear—light enough to wear, tough enough to trust. Perfect for the person who values mobility, reliability, and a clean tactical look.
