GD-Level III 6″ x 8″ Side Plates

Specifically designed to increase coverage on the peripherals of your plate carrier. Our Level III 6″ x 8″ Side Plates offer rifle rated protection on the side of your plate carrier. Compatible with most plate carriers that include cummerbund mounted side plate pouches. Flat and curved form (improved comfort and ergonomics). Capable of defeating 7.62×51 M80 NATO Ball (.308 Winchester) at a velocity of up to 2,780 feet per second. Side plates are most applicable when increased armor coverage is desired from an entry or defensive standpoint. Non-squared off shooting positions, traveling in vehicles, and situations, where fragmentation are a realistic threat, are scenarios that heavily validate running side body armor.
