NIJ Threat Protection Chart ('06 and '04)*
* There is no difference in threat between the NIJ ’04 and NIJ ’06 standards. The differences are in the rigorous nature of the test protocols.
- 04 requires 9 plates tested while 06 is 24
- 04 conditioning requires water “spray” for 6 minutes while 06 is submerged in water for 30 minutes with a 10 minute drip period
- 06 also requires a 10 day tumble (149F,80%hum), 1 day of thermal exposure (5-194F,0-80%hum) as well as a mechanical durability test (drop)

Got my set today. The curvature fits my T3 carrier like a glove. I could not believe the weight and THINNESS. Most of all I am happy to get ridding myself of my AR500 Chinse Steel plates.

Set is thinner and lighter than the 06 certified plates.

After reviewing many websites, and manufacturers, I determined that LTC is the ONLY plate my family will wear. They make most armor manufacturers plates, and almost all plates for the US Military. I ordered them because it was level IV and a “best seller” I could not be happier. Got here quickly and fit all my plate carriers. Side plates and helmets soon!@

I received mine today. Thin, and amazingly light to stop APM2 rounds. LTC is the leader, and NDA had them instock!

I purchased my own LTC plates because my agency gave us steel for our active shooter kits. NO WAY….I decided to invest in myself, and I am so glad I did. All my guys are going to order soon. An hope to do payment plans for officers, or officer discounts??

I received my helmet and plate set today in separate shipments. Not sure why, but both were on time and as ordered. Knew LTC was the best and these seemed lighter and THINNER than advertised. The helmet was CONSIDERABLY lighter that I remember my issued helmet being.
