NIJ Level III+ Body Armor Plate FAQs
How does the NIJ Level III+ Body Armor Plate provide superior protection?
The NIJ Level III+ Body Armor Plate offers superior protection due to its construction from military-grade PEAD™ (Polyethylene) UHMWPE. This material has a molecular strength several times stronger than steel, allowing it to successfully stop various rounds from sniper rifles, assault rifles, and pistols.
Can the NIJ Level III+ Body Armor Plate withstand multiple hits?
Yes, the NIJ Level III+ Body Armor Plate is designed to withstand multiple hits. When a bullet makes contact, the plate absorbs the bullet's energy and disperses it, limiting the area affected by the bullet. This process allows the plate to sustain multiple hits before breaking.
Can the NIJ Level III+ Body Armor Plate be used for airline travel?
Yes, the NIJ Level III+ Body Armor Plate is TSA and airplane-safe. It offers Level 3 standalone polyethylene protection, meaning it can be used during airline travel.
What is the weight of the NIJ Level III+ Body Armor Plate?
The weight of the NIJ Level III+ Body Armor Plate varies depending on size. The 10"x12" plate weighs 4 pounds or 1.8 kg, while the 11"x14" plate weighs 5 pounds or 2.7 kg.
What is the difference between Level III and Level III+ Body Armor Plates?
Most Level III armor can only stop 7.62x39 FMJ rounds. However, the superior Atomic Defense Level III armor can stop both 7.62x39 FMJ and 5.56x45 FMJ and JHP rounds. The "III+" in Level III+ indicates that this armor provides protection beyond the NIJ Level III standard. However, note that "III+" is not an officially recognized level by the NIJ.
Is this a PEAD Level 3 (III) Standalone Plate or ICW Plate?
Level 3 Standalone. This means that it can stop up to 5.56x45 FMJ, 9mm, .44 Magnum,7.62x39 FMJ, etc. by itself and without extra armor needing to be placed behind it.
Why PEAD Armor Plates?
PEAD UHMWPE (PE) is among the most effective materials for bulletproof plates. When a bullet makes contact with the plastic coating, the resulting friction causes it to melt. Heat softens the plate, enabling it to absorb the bullet's energy and disperse it around the plate. The surface cools and hardens again to contain the bullet. The absorption and cooling processes limit the area the bullet can affect, allowing a PEAD vest or plate to withstand countless and multiple hits before breaking.

Bought this for my 11 year old daughters backpack. Wish this wasn’t the kind of world we live in. It ended up being to heavy for her with her books and supplies so returned. Nice product overall however, maybe better for an older stronger child. She is only 80lbs.

Looks solid and hopefully she never has to use it, but better safe than sorry.
Hi there Mariel, thank you for leaving a review! We're glad to hear that you found our NIJ Level III+ Body Armor Plate to be a great size for your daughter's backpack. It's always better to be prepared for any situation, and we hope she never has to use it. Stay safe!

Im loving these plates, fit my K19 plate carrier perfectly nice and snug. These are very light weight and worth every dime I spent. AD will be getting much more business from me in the future.
