In the not-so-distant past, body armor was used predominantly by the military, security professionals and law enforcement personnel. But boy… how times have changed. In today's market, various forms of body armor are available to be purchased and used by almost any responsible American gun owner.   

While there are many different kinds of body armor sets to choose from, many who take their personal protection very seriously (as you should) choose to be safe rather than sorry—expecting similar protection to that of law enforcement.  Level four body armor plate kits are among the most popular choices for freedom-loving patriots, and for a good reason. 

About Level IV Body Armor

Body armor is protective clothing worn to prevent someone from absorbing physical harm from impact, usually from weapons such as guns and knives. In the USA, body armor falls into one of two categories; “soft” or “hard.” Level 4 body armor is the highest-rated according to the NIJ

(National Institute of Justice), which lands it in the hard category.  

Arc Defense Level IV Body Armor is made from ceramic strike face, which is essential to stopping and breaking the impact of most any armor-piercing round. On the surface, ceramic is hard— made from heat-resistant material that is also resistant to corrosion.  

The Arc Defense ultra-functional plate carrier is lightweight and designed to move with you, making it quintessential for any active conflict or active conflict training. The interior panels of this body armor vest are made with high-performance stretch and padded mesh ventilation, which accommodate plates of varying thicknesses.  And because it only weighs seven pounds, this compact system is comfortable, keeping you much cooler than a heavier vest. Also, the exterior of this body armor vest is made from durable Cordura nylon, so even in its simplicity, it still pillars the set's solidity.  

As the highest level of ballistic protection rated under the current NIJ, level four body armor can defeat one round of M2AP ammunition at a minimum before being fully compromised. In addition, a Level IV rating body armor plate should stop one strike from any round less powerful than M2AP, such as 5.56mm, 7.62X39mm, .308 WIN/7.62 NATO, and all handgun rounds like 9X19mm, .40S&W, and .45 ACP.

Moreover, level 4 ceramic plates can handle a surprising number of lower-powered rounds like 9mm, and 5.56mm, which usually hit with much less power than M2AP. In other words… the Arc-Defense Level 4 Ceramic Plate Kit is multi-hit capable.

Other benefits of The Arc Defense body armor Set include the following:

• Breaks apart ammunition
• Better at absorbing and disbanding energy than steel
• Results in less injury
• Comfortable, flexible design
• Performs much better than steel against armor-piercing bullets and high-velocity rounds
• Lightweight design
• Very affordable when compared to other body armor kits
