NIJ Level IV Armor Plate Set, designed for users seeking maximum protection combined with reduced weight and high mobility, featuring high-quality SiC (silicon carbide) and PE (UHMWPE) construction.
The front layer of silicon carbide (SiC) is an advanced, extremely hard ceramic that effectively fractures the projectile on impact. The rear UHMWPE layer absorbs the residual energy, reduces perceived blunt-force trauma, and stops fragments.
NIJ Level IV certification confirms its ability to stop high-powered armor-piercing projectiles, including the 7.62x63mm M2 AP (.30-06 Springfield).
The ergonomic, curved SAPI design ensures even weight distribution and comfort during extended use.
- Protection level: NIJ IV (AP – Armor Piercing)
- Material: Silicon carbide (SiC) + UHMWPE
- Protection against: 7.62x63mm M2 AP (.30-06)
- Design: Ergonomic curved SAPI
- Weight: Reduced for NIJ Level IV
- Compatibility: Standard body armor vests
- Durability: Resistant to impact, moisture, and abrasion
In summary: NIJ IV protection + reduced weight + superior comfort.
Important NIJ IV Information
NIJ IV is the highest level of certified civilian body armor protection under NIJ standards.
- Stops armor-piercing (AP) projectiles
- Tested with 7.62x63mm M2 AP (.30-06)
In summary:
- NIJ IIIA → handguns
- NIJ III → rifles without AP ammunition
- NIJ IV → rifles with armor-piercing ammunition (highest level)
Difference from Alumina + PE (IMPORTANT)
Both versions are NIJ IV, so they provide the same certified level of protection. The real difference lies in performance and comfort during use:
- Reduced weight → improved mobility
- Thinner profile → increased comfort
- More effective energy dispersion on impact → less perceived trauma
- Better performance in demanding scenarios (multiple hits, high velocities)
The Alumina + PE version offers the same NIJ IV protection but is heavier and bulkier.
