LTC's NIJ Certified Level IV Swimmer Plates (Model 26135) are prized for multi-curve architecture. These 10"×12" plates conform closely to the body for superior comfort.
The swimmer cut provides enhanced shoulder and arm range of motion without sacrificing protection. Multi-hit capable.
Certified to NIJ 0101.04 Level IV Stand Alone, the 26135 uses reinforced alumina ceramic. It features a black chemical-resistant Line-X coating for durability.
At 0.74" thick and 6.7 lbs, ceramic construction absorbs energy within the plate. Sold in pairs. Made in the USA by LTC.
These inserts utilize a triple-curve profile designed for long-wear ergonomics. This shape distributes weight evenly across the torso to reduce fatigue during movement.
The advanced swimmer cut geometry is optimized for specialized tactical roles. It allows for a deeper pocket when shouldering a long gun or drawing a sidearm.
Built by Leading Technology Composites, every component meets strict quality control. The layered polymer composite backing provides structural integrity against high-velocity impacts.
The Line-X finish acts as a barrier against moisture and UV exposure. This ensures the internal ceramic components remain protected in harsh field environments.
