• Many UHMWPE Level III plates also list 5.56×45 mm M193 and 7.62×39 as covered threats, depending on construction and testing.
• For armour‑piercing threats such as M855/SS109, consider plates validated as III+/RF2 or Level IV/RF3.

Legal Disclaimer

Body armour laws vary by province and country. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations. We do not ship to jurisdictions where civilian body armour is prohibited.

How to Verify Your Eligibility

Canadian law requires verification before shipping body armour. The easiest way is with your PAL or RPAL:

PAL Verification Steps:

  1. Place your order on canadianoptics.ca.
  2. Email a clear photo of:
    • Your PAL/RPAL
    • A government-issued photo ID to verification@canadianoptics.com.
  3. We’ll confirm and ship your order.

No PAL?
You may still qualify under Alberta exemptions (e.g., law enforcement, EMS, farming/ranching, rodeo performers). Send proof of exemption + photo ID to the same email.

Your documents are used only for compliance and deleted after verification.
