Made in the USA

Nice plate and fair weight for the coverage and protection rating. I’ve bought from GTS in the past and decided recently to upgrade to their level IV plates. Glad to support an American made product and company. Thanks!

Model 8002: Max Power RF3 (Level IV) NIJ 0101.07 Low Fragmentation Silicon Carbide Mosaic Ceramic Armor Plate
CHRIS JORDAN
Top Tier Plates

Wilson was a great help to me in getting these plates. The plates are very high quality and packaged very well to protect them en route. I chose these plates because the I believe the anti frag top fabric will potentially give me a better chance at staying in the fight by not getting ceramic fragments and dust in my eyes and keeping the ceramic in place will potentially keep the integrity of the plates for greater multi hit performance. Wilson also was a big factor in this purchase. He was great at answering all my questions and helping me to pick the best set for me. I would highly recommend these plates. They are top notch quality.

Thank you, Chris!
