Shoulder Plates: Level IIIA

NIJ Level IIIA shoulder plates extend handgun-threat protection (including .44 Magnum) to the lateral shoulder area left exposed by a standard plate carrier, a common target area in close-quarters and breaching scenarios.

Made by LTC exclusively for Hoplite Armor, our HASP (Hard Armor Shoulder Plate) system works as a stand-alone solution or integrates into existing carrier setups without altering your current configuration.

What to expect: added shoulder coverage in a mobility-focused design, rated for handgun threats only, not rifle rounds. Pair with Level III+ or Level IV torso plates for full rifle-rated protection. Ships with our Lifetime Armor Guarantee.
