Once plates used to be so heavy that even the toughest guys didn’t want to wear them. Those times are over. Now there is Ultimate — armor plates you actually want to put on. They provide Class 5 protection according to DSTU, weigh only 1.86 kg, and don’t hinder movement, even when worn all day.
This is not just “another plate.” At the core — boron carbide (B₄C) ceramic and UHMWPE. That combination withstands hits from 7.62×39 BZ and 7.62×54 LPS, and a lot of other threats that may come your way. At the same time the plate remains light, strong, and truly comfortable.
Shape — Shooter’s Cut: beveled corners and a dual-axis curved profile. It doesn’t dig in, doesn’t get in the way, and sits well in a plate carrier. Suitable even for those who don’t skip training.
Standard size — M (25×30 cm), thickness — 22–23 mm, weight per plate — 1.86 kg. Set weight — 3.72 kg. That’s less than a backpack with an emergency ration.
Inside it’s all thought out:
- First layer — foamed polyethylene, absorbs impact.
- Second — ceramic, takes the main hit.
- Third — UHMWPE, catches fragments and prevents penetration.
- Fourth — an additional polyethylene layer so whatever remains doesn’t reach the body.
Top cover — Oxford fabric, protects the plate from dirt, moisture, and wear. It’s armor for your armor.
Who is it for?
For those who actually work — assault teams, special operations units, constant-contact operators. For everyone who needs reliable protection without extra kilos.
