AR500

There is a saying in the backpacking community, “take care of the ounces, and the pounds will take care of themselves. When weight and mobility are everything in your body armor, the AR500 Armor® Level III ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene plate is the clear choice.

Ultra-light Level III protection

Even thinner than our previous UHMWPE (sometimes abbreviated to PE) offering, each plate weighs a mere 2.7 pounds in our 10” x 12” standard shooters cut. This stand-alone plate is NIJ 0101.06 certified, has positive buoyancy, and is multi-hit capable.

The new PE lightweight armor plate is a true contender for those who can sacrifice the inherent benefits of our steel core body armor to save weight.

Highlights

• Peace of mind: NIJ certified Level III, multi-hit capability

• Safety: ultra-lightweight and floats in water
