What Are You Looking For?
This ICW (In Conjunction With) ballistic plate, made of 100% gel-spun UHMWPE (no ceramic components), works with a Level IIIA soft vest to meet NIJ 0101.06 Level III standards—reliably stopping 7.62×51mm M80 NATO and 7.62×39mm AK47 rifle rounds at 15 meters. It fills the gap between handgun-only soft armor and heavy stand-alone plates, ideal for daily high-risk missions (patrols, crowd control). Weighing just 1.10kg (40% lighter than ceramic ICW plates) and 17mm slim, it fits seamlessly into 90% of standard plate carriers without bulk, ensuring comfort during 8+ hour shifts. The outer 600D black Oxford fabric is waterproof and flame-retardant, backed by a 5-year warranty—suitable for law enforcement patrols, private security, campus/event staff, and tactical training units.
1. NIJ 0101.06 Level III ICW Protection (Rifle-Ready with IIIA Vest)
Works in conjunction with a Level IIIA soft bulletproof vest to meet NIJ 0101.06 Level III standards—no ceramic layer needed. At 15 meters, this UHMWPE plate reliably stops 7.62×51mm M80 NATO (NATO full-power ammo) and 7.62×39mm AK47 (standard rifle rounds), filling the gap between soft armor (handgun-only) and heavy stand-alone plates. Ideal for routine high-risk tasks (e.g., patrols, crowd control) where full stand-alone protection is unnecessary but rifle threat coverage is critical.
2. 100% UHMWPE: Lightweight Durability Without Ceramic Risks
Built entirely with gel-spun ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)—no ceramic components. This eliminates common ceramic issues (chipping, hidden cracks from drops) while delivering rifle-stopping power. UHMWPE’s tensile strength (15x that of steel by weight) ensures long-term durability, even with frequent gear handling (e.g., daily plate carrier on/off).
3. 1.10kg Ultra-Light & 17mm Slim Design
Weighing only 1.10±0.05kg per plate—40% lighter than ceramic-based ICW plates (≈1.8kg) and 60% lighter than stand-alone alumina plates (≈2.65kg). Its 17±2mm thickness fits seamlessly into standard plate carrier pockets, adding minimal bulk under tactical jackets. Perfect for 8+ hour shifts (e.g., urban policing, private security) where weight fatigue impacts performance.
4. Single Curve + 600D Fabric: Universal Fit & All-Weather Reliability
Features a single curve contour that 兼容 90% of standard tactical plate carriers (MOLLE, slick, low-profile models), conforming to most torso shapes without custom adjustments. The outer 600D black Oxford fabric is waterproof (no seepage in heavy rain) and flame-retardant, while a 5-year warranty guarantees consistent performance for daily tactical use.

1. Step 1: UHMWPE Stops Rifle Bullets Without Ceramic
The dense gel-spun UHMWPE fibers act as a flexible "energy sponge." When a 7.62mm rifle round hits, fibers stretch and lock together, dispersing kinetic energy across a wide area—slowing the projectile to a complete stop within the 17mm thickness. Unlike ceramic, UHMWPE absorbs energy through controlled deformation, avoiding fragmentation or post-impact cracking.
2. Step 2: ICW Synergy with Level IIIA Vest
Paired with a Level IIIA soft vest, the system creates "full-spectrum defense":
◦ The IIIA vest blocks handguns (9mm, .44 Magnum) and fragmentation—covering daily low-level threats.
◦ The P-3E250300IIIA plate adds rifle protection (7.62mm rounds)—addressing elevated risks without the weight of a stand-alone plate.
This split design keeps total load (plate + vest) under 4kg—30% lighter than "stand-alone plate + vest" setups.
1. Advantage of UHMWPE for ICW Use
Pure UHMWPE’s flexibility makes it easier to wear with a IIIA vest than rigid ceramic plates. It conforms to the vest’s shape, reducing pressure points and improving comfort during prolonged wear—critical for daily patrols where gear comfort directly impacts focus.

User/Scenario |
Core Value |
Usage Suggestions |
|
Law Enforcement Patrol Officers |
1.10kg = all-day wear; ICW = flexible protection |
Pair with Level IIIA tactical vests for routine urban/highway patrols (e.g., city police, state troopers) |
|
Private Security (Daily Shifts) |
Ultra-light = no fatigue; slim = low profile |
Wear in low-profile plate carriers for 12-hour facility security (e.g., airports, government buildings) |
|
Campus Security & Event Staff |
ICW setup = easy gear-up; UHMWPE = no ceramic risks |
Use with IIIA vests for large events (concerts, sports games) where rifle threats are possible but not extreme |
|
Tactical Training Units |
Durable UHMWPE = repeated use; lightweight = training comfort |
Integrate into rifle protection drills (avoids wearing out expensive stand-alone plates for practice) |
1. UHMWPE Sensitivity to UV & Heat
Avoid prolonged direct sunlight (UV rays degrade UHMWPE fibers over time)—store in a dark gear bag when not in use. Do not expose to temperatures above 50℃ (e.g., vehicle dashboards in summer), as this may soften fibers and reduce protection.
2. Impact & Handling Care
While more flexible than ceramic, heavy impacts (e.g., dropping from >2m) can damage UHMWPE’s fiber structure. If dropped, inspect for visible dents or soft spots—discontinue use if damage is found.
3. Fabric & Warranty Maintenance
Clean the 600D outer fabric with mild soap and water only—avoid harsh detergents or bleach (they break down waterproof/flame-retardant coatings). Do not cut, drill, or modify the plate—this damages UHMWPE integrity and voids the 5-year warranty.
4. Service Life Check
After 5 years, replace the plate if: (1) it stops a rifle round (UHMWPE fibers will be permanently stretched); (2) the material feels soft or loses rigidity; (3) outer fabric is severely torn (exposes internal UHMWPE layers).
