You've never seen a plate this light before.

Introducing the Agile PE, a groundbreaking solution in personal protection. This isn’t just an armor plate, it’s an innovative Level IIIA defense system offering superior protection without unnecessary weight.

lightweight level 3a plate for body armor carrier

But the Agile PE’s capabilities extend beyond standard protection. In addition to fending off common handgun threats, which constitute 98% of firearm-involved homicides in the US, the Agile PE excels in mitigating blunt force trauma and guarding against edged weapons. Meeting the 3A ballistic standard set by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), this plate showcases its true resilience.

Designed to accommodate any standard plate carrier, the Agile PE is an excellent choice for private security, home defense, and any scenario where a light, thin plate might prove beneficial. Whether you’re engaged in training, safeguarding your home, or just seeking peace of mind, the Agile PE integrates seamlessly into your life, providing critical protection without compromising comfort or mobility.

    OFFICIAL TEST REPORT

    Want to see the full test report? Download the test document below:

    *Note: In the penetration column, "P" stands for partial penetration, meaning the bullet was captured by the armor and did not fully pass through. This is a successful result. A failure would be marked as "C" or "CP" for complete penetration, indicating the bullet fully passed through the armor.
