What are polyethylene ballistic plates?
People are hearing about ballistic plates, body armor
plates, ceramic plates and the like. Are there any differences among them? How
do they differ with polyethylene ballistic plates?
The polyethylene ballistic plates that is NIJ threat level
three with single curve tactical gear and body armor is suited for salt water
environments even in heavy vibration.
This is an ultra-light rifle plate that will certainly
protect you against high velocity rounds. Although this is rated as NIJ level
three threats, when added with a level IIIA support can withstand piercing
rounds as well.
The good thing about polyethylene is it’s is lighter than
the metal plates that our army use to wear to fight against higher types of
weaponry. Its heft is sometimes, or rather most of the time a hampering factor
in its mobility and efficiency. Remember that in the midst of a battle, one
must be fast and alert. In as much as its weight our soldiers succeeded in
their mission.
Looking at the bright side of it, despite the heft, many
lives were saved with the use of ballistic plates. This dilemma was never
ignored nor neglected because manufacturers have been painstakingly doing its
best to come up with innovations that could address most of our wearers
concern.
The advent of polyethylene ballistic plates has brought joy
to many. Now they can move with ease and will not be carrying too much load in
their front and back. With this, I am pretty sure our law enforcers will be
more proficient in what they do.
No need to fret about its capacity to protect
the wearers. Even though they are lighter, these polyethylene body armor plates emit the same height
of protection or even more to anyone who is wearing it. But again, as a
reminder, wearing it alone is not an assurance of safety. You must also be
alert and knowledgeable about self-defense.
