Lightweight Level IV Dayton Armor Rifle Plate
Level IV protection against armor-piercing rifle threats in a lightweight, US-made plate — certified through DoD First Article Testing with edge-to-edge protection.
Why This Plate
The Lightweight Level IV Dayton Armor Rifle Plate is built for law enforcement officers, military personnel, and security professionals who need maximum rifle protection without maximum weight. Its Level IV rating means protection against high-powered rifle rounds including armor-piercing ammunition, and the plate is engineered to withstand multiple hits.
Crafted from advanced materials, the plate stays light enough for extended wear and dynamic movement while meeting the DoD First Article Testing standard. It can also be worn in conjunction with a soft armor vest for maximum protection, and its edge-to-edge design means the rated coverage extends across the full face of the plate — no dead zones at the borders.
