The Guard Dog Armor Ridgeback Level IV+ Ceramic Plates come as a pair of 10″x12″ multi-curve ceramic plates engineered for reliable protection in high-threat environments. These stand-alone plates feature four layers of front-facing Aramid fibers and a rear-facing trauma pad, rated Level IV+ 0101.06 NIJ tested to stop multiple rounds of .30 caliber armor-piercing (AP) bullets at 2800 ft/s (U.S. Military designation M2 AP). The actual plate size measures 9.85″x 11.8″x 1.06″, making them compact and manageable for extended wear.
These plates provide maximum coverage with UHMWPE and ceramic tiling covering the full face of the plate, ensuring comprehensive ballistic protection across the surface. The Ridgeback features a multi-curve design to provide a natural fit to your body and improve comfort and disbursement of weight for maneuverability and extended wear times. Testing by the United States National Testing System shows that this plate still performs at maximum levels following weighted drops on concrete, demonstrating durability and reliability under demanding conditions.
