Omega Hard Armor PlateOmega 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.
