SPECTRA: The Space Age Solution to All Personal Body Protection Issues
HESCO’s 4800 series body plates have a definitive edge in the body protection niche. What makes them truly unique is the fact that they are made from SPECTRA. This next-generation material represents the very best in cutting-edge body armor plate technology.
This composite fabric was first developed by Honeywell’s engineers and is pound-for-pound 15 times stronger than its steel armored vehicle counterparts.
This material offers weight reduction by 40 percent without any corresponding decrease in flexibility and tensile strength. The end result ensures that the HESCO 4800 series is not only considerably lighter but also stronger than its alternatives. At the same time, these plates also offer unmatched protection in their specific class.
These plates offer NIJ Level IV body protection. This means they provide excellent protection against some of the most dangerous and powerful military rifle cartridges around, such as the hard-hitting 7.62×51 NATO. In fact, they will also protect you against its parent cartridge, the venerable 30-06.
All 4800 plates are compatible with BI 4101 NIJ as well as BI 4100 Level IV side protection plates. This lightweight yet super-strong combination will protect you against most ballistic threats to the chest, abdomen, and other upper areas of your body. SPECTRA’s weight-saving properties will enable you to wear a full combination of these plates simultaneously for extended service hours without causing fatigue. At the same time, you won’t have to worry about sacrificing your mobility.
