Frequently Asked Questions
What threats does Level IV protection stop?
Level IV armor is designed to stop armor-piercing rifle rounds including .30-06 M2 AP. This plate is tested to NIJ Standard-0101.06 and provides protection against special rifle threats beyond standard Level IIIA handgun rounds.
Can this plate be worn without a soft armor backing?
Yes, the Hesco 4400 is a stand-alone plate that provides full ballistic protection without requiring additional soft armor backing. This makes it ideal for rapid deployment scenarios.
How should I store this plate for vehicle deployment?
The Cordura nylon wrap and polyurethane coating allow for extended vehicle storage. Keep the plate in a protective carrier away from extreme temperature fluctuations and sharp objects that could damage the wrap.
What is the difference between this and NIJ certified plates?
The 4400 is the non-NIJ certified version of the 4401 plate. It meets the same ballistic performance standards but has not gone through the formal NIJ certification process, allowing for more cost-effective pricing.
Will this plate fit standard plate carriers?
Yes, the SAPI cut design is compatible with most military and law enforcement plate carriers designed for 10x12 inch plates. The multi-curve design improves comfort during extended wear.
