Materials & Build Philosophy

These side plates are designed as a polyethylene and ceramic composite. The ceramic strike face is intended to manage the initial impact, while the UHMWPE backing supports energy management and structural integrity — a durable, slim plate designed for real-world wear in carriers that see frequent movement, friction, and environmental exposure.

Who It's Built For

• Law enforcement / protective services: patrol, tactical, close protection
• Military / training units: side coverage for field and range operations
• Security teams: mobile protection where low bulk matters
• Prepared civilians: home-defense and contingency loadouts
