PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Rapidly transfer your RTS Tactical HST Advanced Quick Release Plate Carrier Loadout into a Light-Weight 360 Degree Level IIIA Soft Armor Protection Kit.

This Option allows you, the operator, to have this Soft Armor Level IIIA protection without needing hard armor plates.

There is no such thing as a compromise when it comes to body armor. You want top-of-the-line protection, and nothing less. These Soft Body Armor Inserts are the best bulletproof vest solution for small arms fire, with a lightweight, low-profile build surpassing Level IIIA Body Armor quality standards.

As Level IIIA Soft Body Armor, our pliable, lightweight body armor inserts meet NIJ (National Institute of Justice) Level IIIA Body Armor specification as laid out in the Ballistic Resistance of Body Armor NIJ Standard-0101.06. This means that they will protect against a variety of small arms fire, including rounds from a 9 mm, .44 Magnum, .357 Magnum, .357 SIG, and ALL other handgun threats, in addition to 12 gauge shotguns (shell and slug).

The minimalist, lightweight ballistic plates are easy to conceal, but provide the stopping power you need to stay safe in any tactical combat situation, all without compromising agility or freedom of movement.

Stay light, Stay Fast, and Stay Ready with the RTS Tactical Commander NIJ 0101.06 Level IIIA Soft Armor Complete Kit.

My experience with RTS was EXCEPTIONAL. From their website product descriptions, all the way to their tracking, and product delivery, A++++++. The quality of their products are excellent and their pricing is very customer friendly. Their “Deal” area is out of this world unbelievable. Lots of protection for the money, that is for sure! Their customer service team is a strong service team. Those I communicated with were friendly, listened well, helpful with order changes, and then quickly processed my orders. Hard to find this type of service in all these areas, in one company, these days. Thanks RTS, for helping me protect my family and loved ones. Respectfully, Happy, Happy John H.
