UHMWPE Plate

Defend with Confidence, Move with Ease

Description

PE plates provide a winning combination of lightweight comfort and reliable protection. Their advanced design and versatility make them suitable for various applications, ensuring that you can face potential threats with increased confidence.

Unique characteristics
  • Lightweight Comfort
Compared to other armor materials, PE plates significantly reduce the burden on the wearer. This lightweight nature not only enhances mobility and agility but allows for extended periods of comfortable wear.
  • Superior Protection
Despite their lightness, PE ballistic plates deliver outstanding protection. Their composite structure is designed to effectively absorb and distribute the force of impact, minimizing trauma and the risk of injury.
  • High Durability
PE plates have good durability and can resist degradation caused by environmental factors such as moisture, chemicals, and UV radiation. However, their lifespan can be affected by excessive heat or prolonged exposure to sunlight.
  • Buoyant and Flexible
PE plates have a low density, making them float on water. They are also known for their flexibility, allowing for a more contoured fit to the body, resulting in increased comfort and ease of movement in various environments.

How do I insert the ballistic plate?

1. Ensure that your vest/plate carrier has the necessary pockets or compartments designed to hold ballistic plates. Most of them have front and back pockets for this purpose, while some have side pockets, too.

2. Start by unfastening any straps or closures on the vest/carrier to access the pockets.

3. Take the ballistic plates and orient them correctly. Typically, the curved side of the plate, instead of the "STRIKE FACE" side, should face your body for better ergonomics and fit.

4. Slide the plates into the appropriate pockets. Make sure they are centered and aligned properly.

5. Once the plates are inserted, secure them in place by fastening any straps, Velcro closures, or buckles provided by the vest/carrier. Ensure that the plates are snugly held in position and do not shift around.

6. Adjust the straps to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. The vest/carrier should be snug but not overly tight, allowing for freedom of movement while maintaining proper protection.
