The PGD S-LW-ICW NIJ III+ hard armor plate is a high-end super lightweight plate with a thickness of only 13 mm and a weight of just 850 grams. This gives you one of the lightest hard armor plates on the market which provides protection against M80, AK47 and M193.
PGD S-LW-ICW is for the user who wants the best of the best, without compromising at all!!
The PGD-S-LW-ICW Super lightweight hard armor plate, rated at NIJ level III+, offers excellent ballistic protection while maintaining a lightweight design.
The hard armor plate is manufactured in our European factory using premium polyethylene. It is pressed under extreme pressure, resulting in the thinnest and lightest hard armor plate we’ve ever produced. Despite its slim and lightweight design, it offers uncompromised ballistic protection.
Despite its low weight, this plate is capable of stopping multiple high-velocity threats, including the 7.62×51 NATO M80 round.
It also provides effective defense against the 7.62×39 MSC fired from AK-47 rifles, one of the most frequently encountered threats in conflict zones.
Additionally, it can stop the 5.56×45 M193 round, a standard cartridge used in many modern assault rifles.

The PGD S-LW-ICW+ is a super lightweight hard armor plate designed to provide high ballistic protection while maintaining maximum comfort for the wearer. With dimensions of 30×25 cm and a SAPI cut, this plate is designed to fit securely and efficiently within a variety of tactical plate carriers, offering coverage in vital areas such as the chest and back. The multi-curved shape further enhances its ergonomic design, allowing the plate to contour to the body’s natural form. This ensures a comfortable fit, even during extended periods of wear or when performing highly physical activities, without restricting mobility.
One of the key features of the PGD S-LW-ICW is that it is an “In Conjunction With” (ICW) plate. This means it requires the additional use of NIJ 3A soft armor underneath to provide full NIJ level III+ protection. When combined with soft armor, the plate effectively stops threats such as 7.62×51 NATO M80, 7.62×39 MSC from AK-47s, and 5.56×45 M193 rounds.
The lightweight nature of this plate is achieved without sacrificing ballistic protection, making it ideal for professionals who need reliable defense but can’t afford the burden of heavy armor. Whether used by military personnel, law enforcement, or security professionals, the PGD S-LW-ICW+ hard armor plate offers a superior balance between protection, comfort, and mobility, ensuring safety and agility in high-risk situations.
