In modern battlefields and law enforcement environments, standard Level III protection is no longer sufficient to counter all rifle threats. Our NIJ III+ Plate series is specifically designed to fill this critical gap.
Although the NIJ 0101.06 standard does not officially define a “III+” level, within the industry this designation represents plates that surpass standard Level III protection (limited to 7.62×51mm M80) and can effectively stop high-velocity rounds such as 5.56×45mm M855 (Green Tip) and M193. For professionals who need to wear protection for extended periods while maintaining high mobility, Level III+ plates are the ideal choice.
