Level IV Swimmer Plates (26300)
~SOLD IN PAIRS~
These Level IV Swimmer Plates use a Boron Carbide core with a Dyneema HB212 backer for high-end protection.
The 26300 is a lightweight, Triple Curve, NIJ 04 certified solution. It defeats multiple hits of 5.56, 7.62x39, and 7.62x51mm rounds.
This is an extraordinary plate at a highly discounted price. It also stops 7.62x54R and 30.06 AP M2 rounds reliably.
The swimmer cut design provides superior range of motion for your arms. This allows for better weapon stock seating and improved agility during rapid movement.
Fits all standard carriers. 8x10 small carrier. 10x12 medium carrier.
The Boron Carbide strike face is engineered to shatter hardened projectiles. The high-performance polyethylene backer then catches the fragmented material efficiently.
Some popular items/sizes may incur a 4-8 week lead time.

WHICH PLATE SIZE IS RIGHT FOR ME?
Personal preference is vital when choosing 26300 Level IV Swimmer Plates. The wearer must feel comfortable to maximize armor effectiveness in any system.
Medium is designed to fit 95% of military personnel. Height is the most important factor in determining proper plate fitment.
A properly fitted plate should cover from the suprasternal notch down to approximately two inches above the belly button while seated.
If you purchase a set that feels like the wrong fit, call us for a quick and easy exchange.
Maintaining your armor is simple. Clean the exterior Cordura wrap with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid total submersion in water.
Inspect your plates regularly for any cracks or damage to the outer seal. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
