The PGD U-line is a lightweight Level III ballistic plate engineered for reliable rifle-rated protection. Built from monolithic UHMWPE and tested to demanding standards, it provides certified stopping power against 7.62×51 mm NATO (M80) while maintaining a slim, mobility-focused profile for all-day wear.
The U-line plate is manufactured from a single piece of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, combining exceptional strength with very low weight. Its ergonomic, SAPI-style curvature ensures comfortable body contouring without creating pressure points during extended movement or operational use.
The plate meets the NIJ 0101.06 Level III standard, providing reliable protection against common rifle threats, including 7.62×51 mm NATO M80 ball rounds. Each plate undergoes independent ballistic testing in accordance with both European and U.S. certification procedures to ensure genuine protection in the field.
With its UHMWPE construction, the PGD U-line offers significantly lower weight than comparable ceramic plates while maintaining solid ballistic resistance. Ideal for users who require full-day protection with unrestricted mobility—whether running, climbing, or operating in confined environments.
The U-line is compatible with standard plate carriers used by military and law-enforcement units. Designed for real-world operational environments, it offers dependable performance far beyond basic range or training scenarios.
UHMWPE does not absorb water, ensuring the plate remains lightweight even when exposed to rain, sweat, or long-term moisture. The sealed protective surface prevents abrasion and safeguards the material during daily use.
Protection Group Denmark is known for producing professional-grade ballistic equipment trusted across Europe. Each U-line plate is developed, tested, and quality-controlled in Denmark with a focus on durability, functionality, and real ballistic performance.
