Looking for something with max protection without breaking the bank? This is the one for you. As weight is concerned it is a perfect balance to help you in your gear. With level 4 protection and multi curve to help for comfort this plate is second to none. My only problem with it is that I don’t have three more sets for my other vests. I’m military and law enforcement and would recommend to anyone. I currently have it in my agilite plate carrier and couldn’t be more happy.

Whats better than 23lbs of 3+ steel plates?
14lbs of superior protection. I love these plates! Here's to hoping I never have to personally test that superiority! Cheers!

Excellent product. Well built, lightweight, fits perfect in my plate carrier. Could not be happier with my purchase.

I havent bought new plates in some time. I decided now was a good time and did some looking around. Read reviews etc. I have seen Premier plates in certain YT videos being reviewed and shot with various calibers and types. I liked what i saw and decided they would be the best fit for what i was looking for. Getting the plates in i was happy with the overall finish of the outer cover. It wasnt loose or bunched up in the corners like ive seen on other brands. The curves were smotthe and well thought out and the weight is perfect. Solid plates and seem to be built to last.

Love the feel and hope it works if ever needed!

These plates are amazing. They're light weight, awesome protection, and comfortable. They fit perfectly!

Ordered the STRATIS-Max Level IV plates and I’m very happy with the quality and comfort. The multi-curve face makes them comfortable to wear. Thankfully, I haven’t been shot while wearing them, so can’t speak to that!
S
Very solid and even lighter than some equivalent plates. The multi-curve is wonderful. It fits my torso well and the padded backer is well appreciated.
T
It’s a plate, it’s 6.8 lbs. it wears well. Unless I get shot, that’s about all I have to say.

My Dad brought me two of these vest, since I’m in law enforcement. I love it. It’s great quality and it really protects our most vital organs, I’m so thankful for this company making these type of products that can truly save lives. Definitely a 5 start product.

Picked up a set of these plates over the July 4th sale.I have been very happy with weight and workmanship. I had some questions regarding these plates and the Hesco plates, the staff promptly returned my message/call.
The staff went above a beyond answering my questions and reassured me that the plates I ordered would satisfy my needs. The plates have exceeded my expectations.

I have watched Demolition Ranch for years and now that I have my own plate carrier, I had to go back and rewatch some videos get more research in but I am very happy with this product and the price!
W
Great product came in extremely protected. I immediately looked at it for about 5-10 minutes then dropped them into my plate carrier. Some might hate me for this but I’d prefer these over used and abused plates provided by the Army. Currently using them for plate runs and rucks. I hope to save some more money to get those side plates. I’m super lucky I purchased when I did because they are currently sold out. SSG 11 years TIS.

I did a lot of research on the various plates on the market, as well as Premier Body Armor's various offerings. These are edge to edge coverage. On videos I watched, the backface deformity isn't anywhere near a lot of other plates...which means that in the unfortunate event that you are wearing these while shot with a rifle round, you shouldn't suffer the same level of internal injuries, which in and of themselves could be fatal. So that was pre-purchase. Now that I received them and put them into my Core Mission Plate Carrier, they're Extremely comfortable!! I like the multi-curve and multi-hit with stand alone protection. They're not heavy at all. Some level IV plates are lighter, but then the backface deformity is greater. I couldn't he happier with my decision as these are high quality plates! I highly recommend them!

Really happy with these plates so far. These plates were multi-hit capable with a 10 year warranty. I wasn’t able to find that from other brands - they were offering single hit plates with a 5 or 7 year warranty. The Premier price was also more than comparable for a ceramic, Level VI plate. Good stuff!

Haven’t tested it yet. I’ll let you know when I get shot. Fingers crossed.

The price was very reasonable, shipping was quick, and the quality seems great. I’d love to give more positive info about the armor but I haven’t been shot in them, yet. 😜🤣
W
I hope I won’t have to use this powerful piece of equipment. It’s better to have it than not in an emergency. Lots of Communist Chinese coming across our Southern Border right now, Military Age.

Great service, we r confident the plate will work .

I brought two of these and they fit perfectly in 10x12 plate carrier. ALOT lighter than I imagined for being a lvl lV plate. Small note online the plate does not have the premiere body armor logo on the strike face but mine did when they showed up which definitely is a plus.
C
Bought them after watching Kentucky Ballistics destroy some and they seem very nicely made. Happy with my purchase though I don’t hope to test them fully!
J
Hopefully I will never know how well this plate works. It appears to be what I wanted. From order to delivery was very smooth and quick experience. I will definitely use this company in the future.
A
Great build quality, seems to be a long lasting and durable plate. In time, we will tell. Hope to never know how good they are though. If I could, id take half a star off because I didnt get a sticker. Everyone loves stickers. Send stickers for free advertising :). Thanks guys, keep up the good work!

I love it! Hopefully I never have to use it.
