Backpack Plate Insert: Level III+

Level III+ Groin Plate

NOW AVAILABLE IN 4 CARRIER COLOR OPTIONS

Hoplite Armor is known for being the industry leader in body armor design and development. Our line of extremity protection plates have set a new standard in the world of personal protection and our NEW Level III+ Groin Plates are no exception.

Designed using advanced polymer based armor materials, the Groin plate in thin, light, easy to wear and highly capable. This plate can stop numerous rounds of all Level III threats and beyond.

The standard strategy in close quarters combat has changed from "shooting center mass" to "aiming for the hips". Center mass is of course the largest target, but with armor having become so prevalent, the modern mindset is to aim for the second largest target which is the hips. When worn with our Femoral and Dangler Plates this adds a level of protection unseen anywhere else and provides protection against modern combat tactics unavailable through any other source.

Designed to fit any belt. Quick release buckles allow for easy integration and use with any platform.

We currently have a limited number of these available. Groin Plates are In Stock and the Carriers are in the final phase of production now. ETA at our warehouse is 1/30/2023 or sooner. Be one of the first to get access to this groundbreaking new technology.

WHICH PLATE SIZE IS RIGHT FOR ME?

Personal preference is the single most important determining factor when choosing the right size armor for any individual. The wearer must feel comfortable in whatever system and size they choose in order to maximize the effectiveness of any armor system. That having been said, the prior standard for all plates was 10”x12”. Military specifications now include a full range of sizes from Small to Extra Large, however size Medium, 9.5”x12.5” is considered the ideal fit for the 95th percentile, meaning that Medium is designed to fit 95% of all military personnel. 

In order to provide a more easily discernible size chart we focus on the height of an individual as the most important factor in determining proper fitment. See the outline below for a general height / plate size reference. Keep in mind, personal build, and personal preference are the most important factors.

If you purchase a set of plates that you feel is the wrong fit, call us for guidance and to get a quick and easy exchange.
