VLAD-RFX RF2 armor plates are built for those who demand serious rifle protection in an undeniably lightweight package. Constructed from high molecular weight polyethylene. These plates are tested to RF2 NIJ special threat certification. We cut the weight down to nearly 1/3 of the weight of traditional steel.
