NIJ Level IV Body Armor Plate | ESAPI/XSAPI
- NIJ Level IV Body Armor Plate is the highest grade of body armor, surpassing the capabilities of Level III and better than Kevlar armor.
- The NIJ (National Institute of Justice) standard 0101.06 certifies this armor. This standard means the armor can withstand armor-piercing .30 caliber rounds traveling between 2,850 and 2,910 fps.
- The NIJ requirement is for the armor to withstand a single shot in a conditioned state. However, our Level IV plates have been tested and proven against multiple rounds from various full-automatic weapons.
- The Armor Plates are ergonomically designed with a real ESAPI Shooter's cut and body curve for accurate shooting and arm movement.
- We offer two sizes of plates: 10x12x0.9 in and 11x14x0.9 in, to fit any armor carrier in our lineup.
- Our Level IV armor plate is a standalone plate, meaning it can stop high velocity rounds by itself without the need for additional armor.
- The plates are constructed from durable ceramic materials with PEAD™ (polyethylene) backing, making it spike proof and stab proof.
- They are available in two exterior coating options: Standard Ceramic and Boron Carbide.
- These plates also offer versatility, as they can be used in a carrier vest or fit into civilian items like purses or backpacks for added protection.

What Is NIJ Level 4?
At Atomic Defense, we test our panels to comply with and exceed the National Institute of Justice's (NIJ) regulations. The NIJ's standards categorize equipment by the types of rounds it can hold to a depth of 44 mm or less upon impact. Each NIJ level represents a stronger body armor, where levels III and higher fall into the category of hard body armor. Level IV ceramic armor plates are the highest grade for body armor under NIJ standard 0101.06, withstanding rounds from each previous level and above.
As Level IV armor, these plates meet the NIJ's requirement of stopping armor-piercing (AP) .30 caliber rounds traveling between 2,850 and 2,910 fps. The NIJ requires that hard body armor meets this qualification against a single shot in a conditioned state. We go beyond the NIJ's Level IV requirements by firing numerous shots into the armor, proving it can withstand multiple rounds from various full-automatic weapons.
Why Go With Insert Panels?
