Description
SKU: RMA-1165mc-gen2-9.5x12.5
RMA’s lightest level 4 plates are breaking the mold. It used to be said that you couldn’t have the highest level of ballistic protection in an armor plate that is also ultra-lightweight AND affordable. But that’s no longer true with RMA’s Lightest Level 4 Plates.
Thanks to our all-new design featuring custom-engineered 99.7% HyPure Ceramic and also Dyneema® UHMWPE, RMA’s Generation 2 Level IV/RF3 plates are the ultimate expression of our mission; to make the world’s best body armor available for all Americans. While lightweight level 4 plates aren’t new–they are at this price. Evolving from tried-and-true high-performance Generation 1 designs, these plates cut weight, thickness, and also price. It’s once again the best value in American-made body armor.
The RMA 1165 Generation 2 will also fit into a majority of plate carriers. So, here are some of the best plate carriers that we recommend with model 1165 Gen 2 body armor:
