Level III++ Side Plates (23707)

Level III++ Side Plates (23707) — Sold as a set of two plates
Compact, lightweight, and NIJ-certified, the 23707 Level III++ Side Plates deliver mission-grade lateral protection for plate carriers and tactical rigs. Built from a high-density alumina (Al₂O₃) ceramic strike face with a layered polymer composite backer, these side plates absorb rounds on impact (no dangerous spall) and provide stand-alone, multi-hit ballistic performance—including enhanced protection vs M855 / SS109 and 7.62×39 mild-steel-core (MSC) threats.

Why choose the 23707 Side Plates?

• NIJ 0101.06 certified — Level III++ ballistic protection for side applications.

• Special Threat performance vs M855/SS109 and 7.62×39 MSC—higher protection than standard Level III.

• Alumina ceramic core + polymer backer — high energy absorption, multi-hit capacity, and zero-spall behavior.

• Industry leading value: outperform comparable III / III+ / III++ options at a significantly lower cost.

• Ultra-light for side armor: starts at ~1.4 lbs for the 6"×6" plate — minimal bulk, improved mobility.

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

Fit & Integration

Install the 6×6 side plates in your carrier’s side pockets to add lateral coverage for ribs, obliques, and lower torso. These plates are designed to complement front/back SAPI/Swimmer plates and shoulder/femoral systems to create a full-coverage loadout that balances protection and mobility. Always match plate size to your carrier pocket and verify fit before field use.

Quality Assurance & Notes

Each plate is manufactured and QA-inspected by LTC (Leading Technology Composites) in the USA. Plates undergo rigorous inspection and testing protocols to meet NIJ ballistic standards and deliver consistent battlefield performance.
