III+ Femoral Plates (19520) — Lightweight, Ergonomic Lower-Extremity Hard Armor Kit
Protect the femoral arteries and lower torso with Hoplite Armor’s III+ Femoral Plates (19520) — an ultra-light, ergonomically engineered femoral armor kit built for tactical operators, law enforcement, and safety minded civilians who demand rifle-grade performance without sacrificing mobility.
Premium Design & Materials
These Level III+ multicurve femoral plates are precision-formed to match human anatomy, maximizing surface contact and minimizing pressure points for long-term wear. Each 6" x 10" plate weighs only ~1 lb and measures under 0.6" thick, delivering edge-to-edge, multi-hit protection against a wide range of rifle and ballistic threats (including 7.62x39 MSC). Made from buoyant polymer armor composites, the plates absorb rounds on impact with zero spall.
Low-Profile Carrier & Secure Fit
The kit includes our laser-cut carrier constructed from Squadron polymer laminate—a minimalist, durable carrier that prevents tenting and provides a seamless fit. The laser cut carrier system is designed to mount to a standard 1.75" MOLLE battle belt, the carrier uses 1 vertical support and 2 lateral elastic supports to keep plates stable during movement.
We also offer a unique, patent pending, zero drag combat pant carrier system designed to provide a concealed wear option.
The kit includes two (2) 6"x10" III+ hard armor plates plus our laser-cut carrier constructed from durable Squadron polymer laminate. The minimalistic, low-profile carrier clips onto a standard 1.75" MOLLE battle belt, using one vertical support and two lateral elastic supports to keep plates positioned comfortably during high-mobility operations.
