Level III++ SAPI / Swimmer Plate (23707) 

Model 23707 — NIJ 0101.06 Certified Level III++ Triple-Curve Hard Armor
~Sold as a single plate · Very limited quantities remaining~

The 23707 Series is a high-performance, triple-curve Level III++ SAPI or Swimmer plate engineered for operators who need advanced rifle protection at a dramatically lower weight and cost than competing solutions. Built with a high-density alumina (Al₂O₃) ceramic strike face and a layered polymer composite backer, the 23707 absorbs projectiles on impact instead of fragmenting — providing edge-to-edge, multi-hit, stand-alone protection against enhanced rifle threats and special-threat rounds.

This plate was certified to NIJ 0101.06 ballistic standards and is specifically tuned to offer Special Threat protection against M855 / SS109 and 7.62×39 mild-steel core (MSC) projectiles while remaining lighter and more ergonomic than comparable plates.

Key Benefits & Keywords

  • NIJ 0101.06 certified Level III++ — verified, independent ballistic testing.

  • Triple-curve SAPI or Swimmer cut — ergonomic fit, superior body conformity, reduced fatigue.

  • Alumina (Al₂O₃) ceramic strike face + polymer composite backer — multi-hit, stand-alone ballistic performance with zero-spall behavior.

  • Special Threat protection — rated to defeat M855 / SS109 and 7.62×39 MSC rounds.

  • Ultra-light for its class — Small SAPI starts at 3.8 lbs, giving high protection with reduced wearer burden.

  • Made in the USA by LTC (Leading Technology Composites) — military-grade manufacturing and QA.

Fit & Use Guidance

  • SAPI vs Swimmer cut: SAPI (rear) maximizes coverage; Swimmer (front) increases upper-body range of motion. Choose the cut that best matches your carrier and mission profile.

  • Recommended starting size: Medium (9.5"×12.5") is designed to fit the 95th percentile of military sizing and is a good default for most users.

  • Always insert plates into the carrier you will wear and verify top/bottom placement — the top should protect the chest without interfering with neck/shoulder movement.

  • If you’re between sizes, consider whether you prioritize coverage (larger) or mobility (smaller / swimmer front). Comfort and correct carrier fit are paramount.

Quality Assurance & Lead Times

  • Manufactured & QA’d in the USA by LTC — X-ray inspection and rigorous testing protocols.

  • Some sizes and custom runs may incur a 4–10 week lead time due to material sourcing and demand. This is a specialized Level III++ solution — limited quantities available.

Who It’s For

Tactical teams, special operations, law enforcement units, security contractors, and professionals who demand military-grade, NIJ-certified Level III++ protection with a focus on mobility, weight savings, and cost efficiency.
