HESCO RF3-400
type: Product
description: Sold individually. The hardest standard in armor. One of the first plates to meet it. NIJ 0101.07 is the most demanding rifle armor standard the institute has ever written. RF3 is the top of it, the level that replaces legacy Level IV, and earning that certification is not a single successful shot. It is repeatable performance across plate after plate, conditioned and abused before testing ever begins. Plenty of armor does not survive the process. The HESCO RF3-400 is one of the first plates certified RF3 under 0101.07. Then HESCO went past it. Rather than stopping at the certification round, they ran the plate through independent testing against a range of common threat profiles, each one evaluated on its own fresh plate. A dedicated test for 5.56 green tip, six rounds. A dedicated test for 7.62 × 51 M80, three rounds. Additional tests spanning lead core, mild steel core, enhanced-performance, and armor-piercing projectiles. Twelve threat profiles, each documented and published on its own terms. That is the difference between knowing a plate is certified and knowing how it answers the specific round in front of you. Most manufacturers give you the first. HESCO gives you both. It's stand-alone, so you won't need a soft armor backer and comes in a standard 10"×12" shooter's cut, with a multi-curve shape and just 0.83 inches thick and 7.7 pounds. Certified and publicly listed, so you can verify it yourself.
