The Hesco 4800 is an enhanced performance stand-alone Level IV Ballistic Plate. It is an advanced ceramic/Spectra® design that maximizes protection and minimizes weight (10x12 is less than 5 pounds)! This plate does not require a soft armor backer to be worn with it. It pairs with Hesco 4101 Side Plate.
This rifle plate does not compromise on threat performance. It is the highest possible level IV armor protection at the lightest possible level IV weight.
The 4800 is finished with water repellant polyurethane coated CORDURA® fabric.

Hesco Testing Protocol
NIJ Certification of hard armor requires submission of 10” x 12” test plates which must demonstrate the ability to defeat specific rounds tested to a valid NIJ shot pattern, after exposure to a stringent conditioning protocol to simulate aging and wear. Level III requires six M80 rounds per plate. Level IV requires one AP M2 per plate.
NIJ’s process provides for the inclusion of other size torso plates of identical construction to be included under the Certification without further NIJ testing.
Hesco holds itself to a higher standard by publishing the minimum number of shots that each size plate can be expected to defeat under similar NIJ testing methods, as well as listing many additional threats not addressed under the NIJ Certification process.
