Level IIIA Multicurve Shoulder Plates (19502) – Ultra-Lightweight HASP Hard Armor
~Sold in Pairs~

The Level IIIA Multicurve Shoulder Plates (19502), also known as the Hoplite HASP (Hard Armor Shoulder Plate), are the thinnest and lightest HASP option available, providing superior mobility and comfort without compromising protection.

Each plate weighs only 0.5 lbs. and measures just 0.375” thick, making them the lightest shoulder armor plates on the market. Despite their slim profile, these plates are NIJ Level IIIA rated to stop multiple hits of .44 Magnum and all lesser handgun threats.

Extended Coverage & Protection:
The Hoplite HASP system delivers critical upper body protection by covering the deltoids and vital organs, guarding against lateral impacts often left exposed by traditional torso plates. This makes them an excellent upgrade for anyone seeking lightweight, concealable, and dependable handgun-rated armor.

Premium Materials & Ergonomic Design:
Constructed from advanced polymer-based composites, these plates are designed to the highest quality standards for durability and reliability. The multicurve profile enhances comfort and fit, while the included laser-cut lightweight carrier integrates seamlessly with existing torso plate carriers or standard DAPS carriers.
