~Sold in Pairs~

The 26225–26226 Level IV Swimmer Plates are a premium, cost-effective solution for rifle-rated body armor protection. Designed with a swimmer cut for enhanced mobility, these plates combine combat-proven performance with lightweight construction to deliver one of the best values in NIJ Certified Level IV armor.

Advanced Construction:
Each plate is manufactured with a high-density alumina ceramic core (Al₂O₃) backed by a layered polymer composite fiber, delivering superior ballistic stopping power without the weight and fragmentation risks associated with steel plates. Unlike steel armor, these plates absorb projectiles within the strike face, preventing dangerous spall and secondary injuries.
