Meet the DefenderX™ Level IIIA 11x14 Hard Composite Plate from Mitchell and Son Body Armor Outlet — your go-to for serious, advanced ballistic protection that doesn’t quit. This plate is built tough and ready to handle multiple hits without breaking a sweat.
Here’s what makes DefenderX™ stand out:
It’s a stand-alone plate, so no extra gear needed to get top-level protection. Designed to stop up to five .44 magnum rounds traveling at 1474 feet per second from about 17 feet away. That’s some serious stopping power.
The composite construction is engineered to keep backface deformation to a minimum, meaning it absorbs impacts without pushing back hard on your body.
It’s got your back—literally—by containing all fragments inside the plate to prevent dangerous spalling.
Slim and sleek at just 7/16" thick, so it fits comfortably in most standard carrier vests. (Bonus: we have a full line of carriers perfectly matched to this plate!)
Perfect for both front and back protection.
Sized at a versatile 11x14 inches to cover the critical areas.
Tested and certified by HP White Laboratory, meeting NIJ Standard-0101.06 for ballistic resistance. We put it through the toughest tests so you don’t have to worry.
DefenderX™ is the armor plate you want when you need reliable, lightweight, and proven protection in the field.
