Protection Group® PGD U-Line Ballistic Plate Level III++

The Protection Group PGD U-Line Level III++ ballistic plate offers a balance between protection and mobility. The silicon carbide ceramic construction keeps weight relatively low (approx. 2.25 kg) while providing a high level of ballistic resistance. The plate is designed as a standalone (SA) solution and does not require additional soft armor.

Ballistic Protection Level

The plate is rated at NIJ Level III++ and tested for multiple impacts. It is designed to stop common rifle threats such as 7.62×51 NATO (M80), 7.62×39, and 5.56×45 (including M855/SS109). Actual performance may vary depending on ammunition type, impact conditions, and wear.

Weight and Material

The use of silicon carbide ceramic helps reduce weight while maintaining structural strength. This makes the plate suitable for extended wear and active movement where mobility is important.

Multicurve Design and Shooter’s Cut

The multicurve shape improves ergonomics by better conforming to the body. The shooter’s cut with angled upper corners allows for improved weapon handling and increased freedom of movement.

Full Coverage Construction

The plate is designed with extended ceramic coverage towards the edges, helping maximize the protected area across the surface compared to designs with reduced edge protection.

Durable Outer Cover

A water-resistant Cordura cover helps protect the plate from moisture, oils, and environmental exposure. Reinforced edges contribute to overall durability during regular use.
