What Does Level IV Mean?

Level IV is the highest rating under the NIJ (National Institute of Justice) ballistic standard for personal body armour.

  • Stops armour-piercing rifle rounds, including .30-06 AP (M2) and similar threats
  • Provides single-hit protection against high-calibre, high-velocity rounds, and when combined with advanced ceramic design, offers multi-hit capability
  • Ideal for military, law enforcement, and serious civilian defence applications where maximum protection is required

In short: Level IV = top-tier ballistic protection for extreme threats.

Who Are These Plates For?

✔ Law enforcement officers in high-risk situations
✔ Military personnel and contractors in hostile environments
✔ Hunters and outdoors enthusiasts seeking added security
✔ Prepared civilians looking for reliable defence
✔ Security professionals working in high-threat zones

If you need serious protection against rifle rounds, these plates are built for you.
