Tactical Scorpion Gear offers a range of body armor, including Level III+ and Level IV options, known for their lightweight design and high-performance protection. Their Level III+ plates, constructed from high molecular weight polyethylene, are designed to withstand multiple rifle rounds like the 7.62 NATO (.308 Winchester). The Level IV plates, often ceramic-based, are engineered to stop armor-piercing rounds.
Here’s a more detailed look:
Level III+ Plates:
- Material:High molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE).
- Protection:Designed to stop multiple rifle rounds, including 7.62 NATO (.308 Winchester).
- Features:Lightweight (around 1 inch thick), durable, and buoyant. Often covered in 600D nylon with edge padding.
- Specifics:Some Level III+ plates can withstand up to six hits from 7.62 NATO rounds with velocities up to 2780 fps.
Level IV Plates:
- Material:Often ceramic-based, with a polyethylene backer.
- Protection:Designed to stop armor-piercing rifle rounds, like those encountered in Level IV testing.
- Features:May feature a tile array design on the strike face for enhanced multi-hit capability.
- Specifics:May have a foam edge protectant and a foam layer on the front of the strike face.
General Characteristics:

- Multi-hit capability:Many models are designed to withstand multiple hits, not just a single impact.
- NIJ Testing:Tactical Scorpion Gear armor is often independently lab-tested and certified to meet NIJ standards.
