Omega Hard Armor Plate

Protection Level: Special Rifle Threats ICW (In-Conjunction with) II / IIIA Soft Armor

The OMEGA plate pushes protective performance while staying thin and lightweight. Engineered as a composite, multi-curve insert, OMEGA is tested to defeat a range of special rifle threats when used in conjunction (ICW) with Level II and IIIA soft armor systems — making it a practical upgrade for patrol and covert carriers that need added rifle threat mitigation without the bulk of full hard plates. This is not an NIJ-certified plate.

Key Features

 

• Designed for ICW (In-Conjunction With) use alongside Level II and IIIA soft armor to meet special-threat rifle test requirements.

• Composite construction with a multi-curve ergonomic shape for comfortable wear in concealable and patrol carriers.

• Ultra-thin 0.50″ profile keeps printing and bulk to a minimum while adding meaningful rifle threat resistance.

• Tested threat set includes common rifle threats ICW (7.62×51 M80, 7.62×39 PS Ball, 5.56×45 M193) and stand-alone testing against select rounds (44 MAG, 9mm FMJ).

• Wide range of sizes and shooter cuts to fit concealment needs — from small 5×8 inserts up to larger 11×14 shooter cuts.

• Extremely light for its capability — example weights range from ~0.79 lbs (5×8) to ~2.8 lbs (11×14 shooter cut), depending on size.
