Ballistic Performance & Design:

The Model 9969 represents the intersection of comfort and protection in ceramic armor design. The multi-curve profile is engineered to follow the natural contours of your torso, distributing weight more evenly and reducing pressure points that can cause fatigue during extended wear. This ergonomic design makes the Model 9969 particularly well-suited for professionals who wear armor for long shifts or extended operations.

This plate meets NIJ 0101.07 RF3 standards, providing protection against .30-06 M2 AP armor-piercing ammunition traveling at 2880 feet per second. The RF3 protection level also covers all lower-tier threats including M193, M855, M855A1, 7.62 x 51mm M80, and 7.62 x 39mm MSC. The spall limiting design helps control ceramic fragmentation during impacts, resulting in cleaner performance and reduced secondary projectile concerns.

The plate construction utilizes advanced materials and manufacturing techniques to achieve a lighter weight profile while maintaining full RF3 protection. The UHMWPE backing plate provides strength and helps manage backface deformation to protect against blunt force trauma. All components are bonded using proprietary ARMORFILM™ adhesives that are 100% sourced and manufactured in the USA, ensuring consistent performance and long-term durability.

Comfort & Wearability:

The multi-curve design of the Model 9969 sets it apart from single-curve plates by conforming more closely to your body's shape. This improved fit reduces the standoff distance between the plate and your body, which not only enhances comfort but also improves the plate's ability to manage backface deformation. The curves allow the plate to sit naturally against your chest or back, reducing the tendency to shift or create pressure points during movement.

The lightweight construction further enhances wearability by reducing the overall load you carry. Less weight means less fatigue over time, which can improve alertness and performance during long operations. The combination of reduced weight and improved ergonomics makes the Model 9969 an excellent choice for law enforcement officers, security professionals, and military personnel who need reliable protection without the burden of heavier armor systems.

Shooter's Cut Design:

The Model 9969 features a Shooter's Cut profile with clipped upper and lower corners. This cut style is specifically designed to provide maximum mobility for shouldering rifles and other long weapons. The reduced material at the upper corners eliminates interference with your arms when in shooting positions, making it the preferred choice for tactical operators, law enforcement officers, and anyone who regularly uses firearms while wearing body armor.

The Shooter's Cut maintains full coverage of vital organs while optimizing mobility and weapon handling. This makes the Model 9969 ideal for professionals who require maximum rifle threat protection but prioritize comfort and operational effectiveness. The RF3 protection level makes it suitable for high-threat environments where armor-piercing ammunition may be encountered, while the lightweight multi-curve Shooter's Cut design ensures you can maintain peak performance throughout your shift or mission.

The standalone design means no soft armor backing is required, simplifying your armor system while maintaining full RF3 protection. The 1000 denier water-resistant nylon cover protects the plate during daily use and provides a durable outer surface.

U.S. Law prohibits persons convicted of certain violent state and/or federal felonies from purchasing body armor. You are responsible for knowledge of and compliance with federal, state and local laws regarding body armor.
