Side plates offer enhanced ballistic protection by covering the sides of the torso, safeguarding vital organs like the kidneys and liver. By adding this extra layer of protection, side plates increase survivability without significantly compromising mobility or comfort. Our PGD U-line side plates NIJ level 4 are square cut, single curved and very light for comfort.

Designed for extreme environmentsThe advantage of using Monolothic SIC is that the plate is firstly very light, but it is also resistant to extreme temperatures, such as heat and cold, where its performance is better than normal ceramic plates.
Additionally, it is encased in a 100% water-repellent Cordura cover, offering protection against water, oil, and other similar liquids, ensuring the plate's integrity and durability in various conditions.
Our PGD U-line side panels come in the following sizes:
- 150×150 mm / 6”x 6” (1 kg/2,2lbs)
