Hesco 3810 Level III+ Plate Set
Choosing armor plates can prove difficult when there are so many options on the market. Some are great. Some are snake oil. Among our favorites is the Hesco 3810 Level III+ Special Threat SAPI cut plate. They are the lightest-weight, highest-quality plates in their class. This is sold as a set, so you’ll receive a plate for the front and another for the rear.
We recommend our AC1.
The 3810 is finished with a highly-durable cordura wrap and waterproof coating, delivering unsurpassed quality in feel and performance. The comfort fitting multi-curve SAPI cut combined with next-gen materials make this plate perfect for fast moving, highly-volatile environments requiring the ultimate in protection and maneuverability.
