Built in the USA and trusted by professionals, the Spartan Level IV Ceramic Body Armor delivers elite protection against armor-piercing threats. These NIJ 0101.06 Level IV plates are independently tested to stop high-caliber rounds like .30-06 M2 AP (Black Tip) — threats that exceed the capabilities of standard Level III or Level III+ steel armor.
Engineered with Advanced Compound Curve (ACC) technology, each plate features a true multi-curve design that contours naturally to your body, dramatically improving comfort for long-duration wear. This is tactical armor that won’t compromise on ergonomics or mission readiness.
Unlike many other ceramic body armor plates, Spartan's design offers edge-to-edge 10” x 12” protection, ensuring every square inch of the plate is built for ballistic defense. Despite its robust stopping power, each plate weighs only 6.9 lbs, thanks to its hybrid construction of ceramic and UHMWPE — offering a lighter, more mobile alternative to traditional steel plates without sacrificing protection.
Whether you're preparing for real-world threats or upgrading your tactical loadout, this lightweight Level IV body armor is purpose-built to meet the demands of military, law enforcement, and serious civilians alike.
