Guard Dog lvl 4+ plates

by Joel P, Verified Owner from MO, United States Written on September 6, 2024
Fit very nicely, very sturdy and hopefully everyone that purchases a pair of these only see them being shot in a YouTube video.

All things considered they feel great, but are considerably heavy, they fit very snug inside of my plate carrier (I’m running the crusader 2.0 from redemption tactical) also have a carrier from predator armory that I’ll throw these in at some point.

Pros:

Very sturdy

Comfortable fit

Very snug inside of thin plate carriers

From the day they shipped it took less than 2 days for these to arrive to my house and they were packaged decent enough that I’m confident they weren’t damaged in transit.

Cons: Heavy, Bulky, but with this level of protection that’s expected.

Absolutely recommend, I’m FAIRLY confident these will stop anything you’d encounter on a day to day basis.

I wouldn’t worry too much about these fitting any Gen 4 style IOTV plate carrier, every carrier that I’ve tried putting these in have fit perfectly snug.
Best Used for:
  • Stopping bullets
Would recommend: Yes

Looks and feels like it could stop a tank

by Hmg, Verified Owner from MT, United States Written on July 15, 2024
The title says it all. I was really impressed with the quality and really like the curved sides. I hope I never have to see how it stands up to a bullet strike, but I have full confidence in it.

The BOSS of Armor

by Flyn747s, Verified Owner from OH, United States Written on May 18, 2024
These plates are fantastic and built like a brick wall. I was amazed how well the fit was in my plate carrier. I run an HRT RAC and it was a flawless fit. The curve fits great with my chest and no discomfort. Slightly heavier than some, but the price makes up for it. Train in it and you’ll get used to it fast. 5 stars!!

The Best level IV+ plates and affordable…

by Drago, Verified Owner from OR, United States Written on April 21, 2024
Well talking about the weight, and the protection the armor is level four and the weight is around 7.8 pounds per plate that is extremely good, but what blows me away is the way they fit! They actually feel like they were molded to my chest, they are extremely comfortable if you can call wearing body armor comfortable. They are much more comfortable .For now than any plates I have ever worn and I have worn several!!! Now as far as protection, Classic Firearms did a good testing video…..
