I’ve ran around with these in my pc for a while now, they feel slightly lighter then the plates I was issued in the army, hold in the pc real tight and firm, didn’t take to long for them to be delivered and transit appeared easy on the package. Already recommended them to my friends and family, if you’re still unsure you can find videos on YT of these taking several rounds of 5.56, 7.62x39, 7.62x51 and even black tip 30-06 with no penetration.
Pros:
- GREAT PRICE
- Good weight
- Quick Delivery
- Holds firm
Would recommend: Yes

These plates are pretty nice for the price and they’re honestly a little lighter than most ceramic plates. They feel sturdy and strong. I’m very pleased with this purchase

I have purchased a couple of sets of the Guard Dog Level VI ballistic plates for my plate carrier and a tactical vest. They are lightweight and relatively thin for Level VI plates. They fit perfectly in both rigs, with just enough room to spare in my plate carrier to fit a soft plate or a trama plate, although it’s a tight fit and might not work in other carriers. The price was better than I could find after checking out several different brands and several different sellers. You can get cheaper plates, but they are usually steel and much heavier, not to mention not always including an anti-spall backing.Optics Planet always ships “in stock” merchandise quickly and it has always arrived in top condition. I’ve never had a “real world” test with these ballistic plates, and hopefully it will stay that way, but I feel better having them.

Not heavy, not exactly light. Ships well packaged. Fit perfectly in standard 10x12 carrier slot. Piece of mind for when it all falls apart and youre betting enough rando's have .308.
Would recommend: Yes

When I first ordered these I did not know what to expect. When I got them I was as immediately impressed with how solid they are. I am hoping that I never have to see how they will withstand a bullet strike, but I have full confidence in them.

I watched a video on these and they took everything thrown at them and didn't let the projectile thru. It was hit with 9mm, 7.62x39. 30.06, 5.56x45 green-tip and .308, and no projectiles made it thru, it was damaged and junk when they were thru but if you were wearing it, you would still be alive and that is what counts.
Both plates i my carrier weigh under twelve pounds, and the curve fits my small frame nicely, well worth the price for a level 4 plate, money well spent.
Pros:
- lite weight
- can absorb high power rifle fire
- could withstand green tip bullets
Best Used for:
- staying alive when the SHTF
Would recommend: Yes
