🔍 Why These Plates Stand Out
Compared to typical commercial Level 3+ plates:
You get:
✔ Superior material density
✔ More robust ceramic structure

✔ Military-grade QC procedures
✔ Aggressive multi-hit protection
Directly comparable alternatives:
- Hesco 3810 (more recall history)
- RMA III+ hybrid ceramics
- Budget single-curve options
Most buyers choose these for reliability + enhanced steel-core threat coverage
