1x Ballistic Defence BD ZIRH Level IIIA Hard Body Armor Plate
Ballistic Protection Level: NIJ Level IIIA — protects against common handgun threats including 7.65 mm, 9 mm, .45 CAL, .44 Magnum, .357 Magnum, and .38 Special calibers.
Material: Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) construction delivers exceptional strength-to-weight performance and structural stability.
Multi-Hit Capability: Tested for 3-shot and 6-shot multi-hit performance depending on ammunition type. Each impact dissipates energy through the plate structure; repeated strikes at the exact same point may reduce localized performance.
Backface Deformation (BFS): Tested below the NIJ 0101.06 maximum allowable limit of 44 mm. A reduced backface signature limits blunt-force trauma transferred to the wearer at the moment of impact.
Dimensions: 250 × 300 mm (±5%) for balanced coverage and unrestricted mobility.
Thickness: 13 mm slim, low-profile design suitable for tactical, duty, or everyday protective use.
Plate Weight: Approximately 450 g (less than 1 lbs ±5%) for maximum comfort during extended wear.
Coating: Polyurea-sealed surface delivers spall protection and provides UV, heat, and environmental resistance.
Design: Ergonomic multi-curved geometry ensures natural fit, superior comfort, and full mobility during active operations.
Additional Resistance: Reinforced composite layering provides edged-weapon resistance against knife and sharp object threats.
Post-Impact Service: Plates that have absorbed a recorded hit, sustained a hard drop, or shown surface damage should be inspected by a qualified technician and replaced if structural integrity is compromised — internal damage is not always visible from the outside.
Shelf Life & Warranty: 10 years shelf life from production under proper storage; 5-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects.
Quality Control: Each plate undergoes comprehensive internal testing and includes permanent serial identification, ballistic level, production date, and manufacturing data for traceability.
Integrated Protection Setup: Combines the 40L BD-40L Loadout tactical backpack with Level IIIA hard armor plate compatibility for a complete protective carry solution.
Ballistic Upgrade Capability: Rear compartment supports hard armor plate integration, converting the backpack into a bullet-resistant system for personal protection.
Durable Construction: 600D Nylon 6/6 outer shell with abrasion-resistant, water-repellent, and fire-resistant treatment for demanding field use.
Modular MOLLE System: Laser-cut MOLLE panels on the front and sides support accessory placement and mission-based customization.
Ergonomic Carry: Contoured adjustable shoulder straps with dual D-rings, ventilated mesh-padded back panel, and air mesh padding maximize airflow and minimize perspiration during extended missions.
Adjustable Waist Belt: Quick-release, length-adjustable waist strap enhances load stability and comfort during movement.
Advanced Storage Organization: Two large main compartments, internal padded laptop/electronics sleeve, magazine pouches, pen holders, document sleeves, mesh organizer panel, and zippered accessory pockets.
Hydration Compatibility: Accommodates camelback hydration systems with integrated tube outlet channel for field use.
Heavy-Duty Zippers: Custom-engineered tactical two-way zippers ensure dust resistance and smooth operation under harsh field conditions.
Compression Straps & Velcro ID Area: Side compression straps allow quick capacity adjustment; front hook-and-loop panel accepts name tags, blood type markers, or morale patches.
Weather Resistance: Advanced textile treatment provides water, oil, and dirt repellency for reliable performance in all environments.
Professional Use: Suitable for operators, security personnel, tactical users, training applications, and everyday protective carry.
