Revolutionary Resilience in Understanding HESCO 4800 Plate Materials

HESCO’s cutting-edge 4800-800 body armor plates have been created for maximum protection in even the most fluid combat situations. All 4800 plates offer strong performance and protection in a remarkably lightweight package. 

They have been purpose-built to protect operatives in even the most heavily contested battle spaces. These plates offer an ideal combination between extensive protection and greater freedom of movement and maneuverability. 

All HESCO’s 4800 plates are precision-engineered from next-generation materials while utilizing the very latest in armor plate manufacturing technologies. This is why they are among the lightest Level IV plates available today. At the same time, they offer a high level of protection in their class. 

Apart from that, every HESCO 800 series armor plate comes suitably well-equipped with a rugged, water-resistant coating wrap. This external coating helps protect your plates against moisture and the elements during extended field use. The end result is dependable performance in the field. 

The 4800: Advanced Level IV Materials

The 4800 is built on HESCO’s advanced Ceramic/UHMWPE construction. A ceramic strike face paired with an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene backer is the key to its combination of Level IV protection and low weight. This construction keeps the plate significantly lighter than comparable steel armor while maintaining its strength and durability.

NIJ Level IV Protection

HESCO’s 4800 plate is a lightweight and reliable personal body armor plate system that offers the wearer NIJ Level IV protection. This means that they can help protect you against some of the most powerful and dangerous military rifle cartridges including the 7.62×51 NATO (.308 Winchester), 7.62×39 (AK47), 5.56 NATO green tips, and even the powerful .30-06 M2 armor-piercing (AP) round. 

The 4800-800 series is also fully compatible with its associated BI 4100 and BI 4101 Level IV (NIJ ) side plates. This is a highly capable lightweight combination that offers broader protection against ballistic threats to the most vulnerable areas of the body. These plates are so light that you can wear all of them together without feeling tired because of excess weight or sacrificing your mobility. In fact, you will be able to move around in even the toughest battlefield conditions with near total ease. 

HESCO products have been trusted by professionals and agencies for over 20 years. 

HESCO’s personal protection plates undergo multiple tests before they are declared fit for service. These tests include drop tests, submersion tests, ballistic and kinetic force tests, along with tests for shock absorption, comfort, and ergonomics. 

All HESCO products are proudly made right here in the USA. Rest assured that you can always rely on your HESCO 4800 series to protect you whenever you go in harm’s way.
