Body Armor SAPI Plate (Single)- Level IIIA (19300)

LTC's Level IIIA SAPI Plate (Model 19300) offers superior protection against common handgun threats in a hard armor format, sold as a single plate. Hard armor construction reduces backface deformation compared to soft armor, lowering blunt trauma risk. At 0.35" thick and roughly 1.3 lbs, this plate provides handgun-threat defense without added bulk. Made in the USA by LTC (Leading Technology Composites).

Benefits of the Level IIIA SAPI Plate

NIJ Certified Level IIIA protection in a 10" × 12" hard plate weighing approximately 1.3 lbs (nominal). The multi-curve design follows the natural shape of the torso for a comfortable fit and full range of motion, while the rigid construction holds its shape better than flexible soft-armor inserts over time.
