HESCO 3612 Level III+ Plate Set
Overview
The HESCO 3612 is a lightweight multi-curve Level III+ plate that is extremely similar to the venerable HESCO 3810. The 3612 offers a slimmer profile at a slightly lower price, but you lose protection from some of the larger caliber rounds like 7.62x54 LPS and 30-06 JSP that the 3810 covers.
What's Included
- 2x HESCO 3612 Level III+ Plates
Sizing
The purpose of armor plates is to cover your vital organs. You can use HESCO’s Hard Armor Fitting Guide to determine what size plates you need. (You can get a good idea of your size by measuring nipple to nipple and clavicle to a few inches above your belly button.)
If you have any further questions about protection levels, sizing, plate cuts, single/multi-curve, etc, please refer to our Body Armor For Beginners article for more information.
