Chase Tactical AR1000 Level III+ Stand Alone Rifle Armor Plate: Affordable Protection for High-Velocity Threats


The Chase Tactical AR1000 Level III+ Stand Alone Rifle Armor Plate offers robust protection against high-velocity rifle rounds, making it an excellent choice for law enforcement, military personnel, and preparedness enthusiasts. Certified to NIJ 0101.06 standards, this lightweight armor plate is engineered from high-hardness steel with a Rhino eXtreme™ anti-spall coating, ensuring durability and reduced spall fragments. Priced competitively, it’s ideal for those searching for “affordable level III+ armor” or “NIJ certified rifle plates.”

Key Features for Reliable Defense

  • Level III+ Protection: Defends against high-velocity rifle rounds, including 7.62x51mm M80 and 5.56x45mm M855, as a stand-alone plate without requiring soft armor.
  • Rhino eXtreme™ Coating: Military-grade polyurea coating minimizes spall and blast fragments, enhancing safety during ballistic impacts.
  • Lightweight Steel Construction: At 5.9 lbs. for a 10” x 12” plate, it balances protection and mobility for tactical operations.
  • NIJ 0101.06 Certified: Independently tested for compliance, ensuring trust for tactical gear users.

Why Choose the AR1000 Armor Plate?

The AR1000 delivers exceptional value, combining high-performance ballistic resistance with affordability. Its shooter’s cut and multi-curve options (nominal 9.5” x 11.5”) enhance comfort and fit in standard plate carriers, making it a favorite among users who value mobility. Customer reviews praise its quality and fit, with comments like “fits perfectly in my JPC 2.0” and “great value for the price.” For those seeking “best steel armor plates” or “lightweight rifle armor,” the AR1000 is a top contender.

Versatile Integration

Designed for stand-alone use, the AR1000 requires no additional soft armor, simplifying your tactical setup. Available in shooter’s cut and multi-curve configurations, it fits seamlessly into carriers like the T3 Geronimo or JPC 2.0, as noted by verified buyers. Its anti-spall coating ensures safer performance in high-threat environments, from law enforcement patrols to military missions.
