Description
Armored Republic Polyethylene Body Armor – P3
Lightweight Body Armor for Maximum Mobility
The P3 plate offers unprecedented freedom and power with its ultra-lightweight construction. Made from advanced polyethylene material, this rifle armor enables users to maintain high levels of activity without experiencing fatigue. Whether running or swimming, the P3 ensures you remain agile and energized.
NIJ Level III Protection: Proven Bullet-Stopping Power
Independently tested to meet NIJ Level III standards, the P3 plate effectively stops 7.62×51 M80 Ball rounds traveling at 2780 FPS. This remarkable protection is achieved through polyethylene’s unique properties. The material softens slightly on impact, allowing the bullet to penetrate the outer layer. The internal fibers then capture the bullet, absorbing its energy, and rehardening to prevent further damage.
Multiple-Hit Durability and Buoyancy
Unlike other materials that shatter upon impact, polyethylene plates are capable of withstanding multiple hits. This resilience is due to the plate’s ability to re-harden after absorbing the bullet’s energy. Additionally, the P3’s hydrophobic wrap ensures it remains buoyant, providing life-saving flotation capabilities in water. At under three pounds, it’s the only rifle-rated protection that combines such high performance with practical functionality.
