Shop the Fortis Ballistic Helmet and our rifle-rated armor plates in one place. Use this collection to build a more complete setup, or upgrade a single piece of your kit.
Compare plates by:
- Protection level (Level III, III+, Level IV)
- Plate cut and curvature
- Weight and thickness
- Intended threats and test standards listed on the product page
If you want the simplest path, start with the protection level you need, then narrow by weight, thickness, and cut for comfort and mobility.
What’s the difference between Level III and Level IV plates?
Level IV is for higher-threat rifle protection. Both Level III and IV focus on different rifle threats depending on the model and testing. Always confirm the exact rounds and standards on the product page.
Do I need a helmet and plates?
It depends on your use case. Many customers start with plates, then add a helmet to round out coverage.
How do I choose the right plate?
Pick the rating first based on your purpose, then compare weight, thickness, and cut based on how and when you plan to wear it.
