In case of stock shortage, the plates of the FI/RA range are available for pre-order and deliverable within 2 weeks.
Ballistic plates are sold individually.
PATENTED TECHNOLOGY: ceramic encapsulated in a polymer, and composite material on the back.
COMFORT : the multiaxial flexibility of the plates adapts to all types of body shapes, follows the contours of the torso and moves with the operator, simplifying tactical gestures and other daily movements, especially in uncomfortable positions.
LIGHTNESS : the plates are light, and the multiplication of contact points with the body compared to a rigid plate reduces the perceived weight.
PROTECTION : The plates have unmatched multi-impact performance against armor-piercing munitions. They are defined according to the highest army standards.
RUSTICITY : the ceramic is encapsulated in a polymer and protected from shocks. The plates are robust, reliable and resistant to multiple daily attacks as well as water thanks to their waterproof cover.
UNISEX : plates suitable for both men and women. The flexibility will allow it to adjust to all body types.
ADAPTABILITY : Our flexible ballistic plates in SAPI 25x30 cm format adapt to all types of plate carriers.
TRAUMA : the composite materials used in the manufacture of the plates make it possible to considerably reduce rear trauma, which we strive to limit to a maximum of 35 mm (the standard being 44 mm), and to 25 mm for piercing calibers.
DURABILITY : thanks to the rounded edges, they will no longer damage your plate holders. The resistant pocket is welded and guaranteed waterproof.
STORAGE : storing the plates is easy: simply lay them flat.
WARRANTY : the plates are guaranteed for 5 years on their ballistic performance.
MANUFACTURED in France in the workshops of the Pangolin Défense company in Violot (52).
FORMATS : Ballistic plates are sold individually, with the exception of side plates which are sold in pairs.
