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)
These are the best plates I could find for balancing threat protection and weight and are NIJ certified. I figure if these are good enough for the military, theyโre good enough for a civilian like me. They fit my rig perfectly. The sizing guide really helped me understand which plates would fit my body and my rig.
Received my LTC plate set.ย ย Easy to look up, NIJ Certified, and made by LTC, as Next Day Armor advertised.ย ย LTC made in USA and the ONLY REAL DEAL plates on the net. Glad I could find their product.
My plates arrived on time, packaged SECURELY.ย I have seen all the bullshit out there, and it is good to see someone selling LTC.ย USA, quality. Saving up for side plates next
I received my plates todayโฆ.my carrier needs replacing but everyone is out of stock.ย When is NDA going to offer IN STOCK Plate carriers!! You would sell a ton if you HAVE THEM IN STOCK!!!
So many โfakesโ on the internet. I have wasted so much $$.ย I am hoping to get a lightweight level III set. I know they are expensive, but hoping NDA can offer LTC level IIIโs soon
Plates are sweet looking and new for a price nobody else can beat! Shipping was super quick! This sit is legit and I wish they offered more items because I know I would buy it! This company is serious about their business and I would gladly do business with them again.
