The PGD LW+ is produced in Europe because we want to be sure that the quality is in order. The lightweight plate is designed in multicurve.
This hard armor plate is the lightest of our SA plates and weighs only 1.5 kg / 3.3 lbs.
The PGD LW+ SA plate is a standalone (SA) armor solution, meaning it provides full protection without the need for additional soft armor.
It is rated to stop a range of high-velocity threats including:

These rounds are among the most frequently encountered threats in combat and high-risk environments, and the PGD LW+ SA plate is designed to neutralize them, providing reliable defense in life-threatening situations.
It is an incredibly strong bulletproof plate against multiple hits, because we uphold the highest quality in the production. The plates have an anti Back face signature liner, which protects your internal organs from the force of the impacts, so you stay alive.
This hard armor plate is a high-performance ballistic protection solution designed for professionals who require both durability and comfort in high-risk situations. With its SAPI cut and dimensions of 30×25 cm, this plate fits seamlessly into most tactical plate carriers, offering critical coverage for the chest and back. Its multi-curved design further enhances the comfort, allowing the plate to naturally follow the contours of the body. This ensures a secure and comfortable fit, even during extended periods of wear, without compromising mobility or flexibility in active scenarios.
Despite its strong ballistic capabilities, the plate remains lightweight, making it an ideal choice for those who require advanced protection without the added weight of traditional hard armor.
We use quality materials from Honeywell and Dyneema to keep the weight down on the plate and at the same time ensure that it is resistant to multi-hits. The plate is 100% HPPE (High performance Polyethylene), which is made to put in the side of your combat vest.
The advantage of a 100% polyethylene SAPI plate is that the weight is much lower than a ceramic plate. Polyethylene can often handle several impacts in the same area, which are located close to each other. The plate is produced under extreme pressure, which means that it can withstand being dropped and still be resistant to any combat situation.
The plate is covered with a liquid-repellent Cordura cover, which protects the ballistic properties against water, oil and similar liquids.
To ensure the plate’s long-term durability, it is encased in a protective layer of foam. This added layer safeguards the plate from impact, such as being dropped, preserving its ballistic integrity and maintaining its combat readiness. We incorporate this feature because we believe that compromising on safety is never acceptable.
Our hard armor plates are sold as single pieces – not pairs.
