Technical Specifications:

Ballistic Performance & Testing:

This RF2 ceramic armor plate set provides standalone protection against common rifle threats including M193 (5.56mm), M855 (5.56mm green tip), 7.62 x 51mm M80, and 7.62 x 39mm MSC. The RF2 protection level is well-suited for law enforcement, security professionals, and civilians who face rifle threat scenarios but don't require the heavier armor-piercing protection of RF3 plates.

These plates have been extensively tested against all RF2 threats at NIJ-approved laboratories, demonstrating consistent and reliable performance. The thin 0.75" profile provides effective protection without the excessive bulk of thicker plates, making them easier to wear for extended periods while maintaining full RF2 ballistic capability.

The ceramic strike face is designed to fracture and defeat incoming projectiles, while the UHMWPE backing plate helps manage backface deformation to protect against blunt force trauma. This proven two-layer approach provides reliable protection at an affordable price point.

Value & Accessibility:

Quality ceramic armor protection shouldn't be out of reach for those who need it. This RF2 plate set is designed to provide reliable ballistic performance at an exceptional value, making ceramic armor accessible to more people without compromising on safety or effectiveness.

The thin profile and lightweight design (approximately 5.2 pounds per plate) reduce fatigue during extended wear, making these plates practical for daily use by law enforcement officers, security personnel, and civilians who need reliable rifle threat protection. The single-curve design provides compatibility with most standard plate carriers while keeping costs reasonable.

Applications & Use Cases:

This RF2 plate set is ideal for law enforcement officers, security professionals, and civilians who need reliable rifle threat protection at an affordable price. The RF2 protection level is well-suited for most law enforcement and civilian scenarios where rifle threats may be encountered but armor-piercing ammunition is less likely.

The thin profile and lightweight design make these plates practical for extended wear during patrol shifts, security operations, or daily carry. The exceptional value makes it possible to equip multiple personnel or maintain backup armor sets without breaking the budget.

The 10" x 12" size is the standard medium plate dimension that fits most adult users and is compatible with the vast majority of plate carriers on the market. The single-curve design provides reasonable comfort while keeping the price accessible.

Important Notes:

• These ceramic armor plates provide standalone RF2 protection and do not require soft armor backing for ballistic performance
• RF2 protection covers common rifle threats but does not include armor-piercing rounds like .30-06 M2 AP (which requires RF3 protection)
• Set includes 2 plates (front and back)
• Well-tested against all RF2 threats at NIJ-approved laboratories
