SPECPROM UHMWPE Side Armor Plates, Class 3 — Pixel (Set of 2)

Specprom side armor plates are a modern, lightweight solution for expanding body protection without significant added weight. The set includes two pixel-pattern plates, each weighing 0.62 kg, measuring 21.5 × 16 cm, and 25 mm thick. The plates are made from high-quality UHMWPE (ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene) combined with foamed polyethylene and an Oxford 300D outer covering, providing an optimal balance of ultra-light weight and resistance to ballistic and fragmentation impacts.

Ballistic Characteristics and Protection

The armor plates are certified as Class 3 protection according to DSTU 8782:2018 and provide protection against 5.45×39 mm PS and 7.62×39 mm PS caliber bullets, as well as fragments, shrapnel, and secondary projectiles (glass, concrete, and other debris). Thanks to their UHMWPE construction, the plates effectively dissipate impact energy, reducing the risk of penetrating injuries.

Construction, Configuration, and Features

The set includes two armor plates and protective covers made of Cordura 500D, equipped with a MOLLE attachment system (PALS webbing). The covers feature a waterproof membrane zipper for moisture protection, and a Kappa snap button on the back for secure webbing fixation. The plates have an anatomical curve and are designed for horizontal attachment to the body, which does not restrict movement and maintains wearer mobility.

Mounting and Compatibility

The modular system allows the armor plates to be installed on various equipment sets: on the outer part of cummerbunds (side plate carrier pouches) — compatible with IBV, PRO plate carriers, and other models with cummerbunds; or attached directly to a skeletal system via PALS webbing, as on M.V.P plate carriers and plate carriers from brands like M-TAC, Agilite, 5.11, etc. This makes the set versatile for most modern plate carriers.

Who These Armor Plates Are For

This set is recommended for police officers, journalists, UAV operators, military vehicle drivers, volunteers, and other civilians and military personnel who require additional side protection against bullets and fragments. They are particularly relevant for military personnel engaged in positional combat in trenches and exposed to the risk of fragmentation injuries or FPV drone attacks. The ultra-light weight and ease of attachment allow for quick installation or removal of protection at any moment, without losing mobility.
