Level III+ Body Armor Plate | Guardian 4sas4 by HighCom

The HighCom Guardian 4sas4 is a Level IV standalone ceramic body armor plate engineered to defeat armor-piercing rifle rounds including the M2 AP .30 caliber. Independently tested by an NVLAP-accredited laboratory to meet and exceed NIJ Standard 0101.06, this plate delivers the highest civilian-available ballistic protection rating in a slim, field-ready package.

At just 0.75" thick with a ceramic strike face over composite backing, the 4sas4 provides Level IV protection without the weight penalty of older monolithic ceramic designs. The 1000D Cordura nylon cover adds durability for everyday carry and high-tempo use. Available in a 10" x 12" Shooter cut.
