Description
RMA’s Level III body armor plate (model #1078) is NIJ .06 Certified and also specifically designed for those who need maximum protection and mobility at a low cost. Additionally, the 1078 Level III body armor plate is engineered to be positively buoyant. Plus, it weighs just 3 pounds. This lightweight level III body armor plate will defeat multiple 7.62×51 FMJ, M193, 7.62x39MSC, 5.56 FMJ, and also handgun munitions. However, Level III does not defeat armor-piercing threats. Instead, we recommend our Level IV products if you are facing Level IV threats.
This Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) Level III body armor plate is also designed and manufactured at our Centerville, Iowa factory. We built it to exceed the standards set forth by the National Institute of Justice’s 0101.06 Level III Certification for a stand-alone plate, plus it will float in water. Anyone who depends on superior protection in the most dangerous situations can depend on the strength and quality of the 1078 Level III standalone rifle plate. Level III plates are ideal for maritime operations. Additionally, they excel at minimizing weight over rough terrain. You don’t need to give up on protection during dangerous operations in water our mountains. Instead, pick RMA’s 1078.
Plate Carrier Compatibility
RMA’s Level 3 lightweight body armor is a single curve 10″x12″ rigid armor plate. Thus, it will fit in a majority of plate carriers that accepts 10×12 armor plates.

Fantastic product. Great quality plates with a soft backing. They nice and snug in my Spiritus lv119. They weight exactly what the website says which is important because I wanted to more away from heavy plates. These are comfortable and I would recommend them to everyone.

These plates are amazing!! I upgraded to the RMA plates from AR500(yeah, I know) and it was a game changer! Firstly, the weight difference is significant. Going from 14 pounds of plates (front and back) down to 6 pounds was a shocking difference. Also, modern PCs are designed for the thicker plates like RMA has and my carrier (Crye JPC) fits MUCH better and is far more comfortable than with steel plates. Just bite the bullet (or block the bullet would be a better analogy) and buy these plates!!!

Great light weight armor. I had to exchange one an armor plate because it didn’t fit my carrier. RMA made it easy and painless. Great company and all LEO’s should buy from them!
