Level III+ Armor Plates – NIJ RF2 Rifle Protection

🛡️ Level III+ Rifle Plates – NIJ RF2 Certified for Advanced Threats

When you need more than standard Level III, Level III+ (RF2) plates are your next step up in lightweight rifle-rated armor. Designed to defeat green tip M855, SS109, and other high-velocity threats, these plates offer multi-hit protection in a slim, mission-ready format.

🚨 Why RF2 Matters

Under the NIJ 0101.07 standard, RF2 is the new designation for Level III+. It’s tested to stop:

  • 5.56x45mm M855 / SS109 (steel core)

  • 7.62x51mm NATO (.308 FMJ)

  • 5.56 M193 and similar intermediate rifle rounds

That makes RF2 plates ideal for defensive rifle setups, patrol gear, and mobile loadouts where speed and survivability matter.

🧱 Built for Mobility Without Compromise

Our RF2 plates are:

  • Constructed from ceramic composite or hybrid materials

  • Offered in 8×10, 10×12 and 11×14 sizes

  • Also in 6×6 and 6×8 side plates
  • Available in flat and curved shooter’s cut profiles

They’re compatible with all standard plate carriers and are legal for civilian purchase in most states.
