Do you mean .3 inches? Because .03 is some next level stuff.
Their website states .03′ (feet) thick. That translates into 0.36“ ( inches) thick.
lol – that’s pretty shady that they wrote the spec in feet.
Unless you’re computing aerial density. Then, it’s pretty handy.
And if you click on the “additional information” tab it says the weight is 4lbs
It’s a plate that stops pistol rounds. The same rounds my soft vest stops. Do people going into harms way really want this? If I am putting on a plate carrier I want it to stop rifle rounds. This sounds like marketing hype to me. ie it looks high speed but it’s not.
From the SSD article:
“These are great plates for low profile/Low Vis operations where someone wants to be able to throw on soft armor in carrier , **and doesn’t wear concealed**, or worn in a carrier as daily soft armor.”
I mean, I know it was the third sentence in and all and who can be expect that much of an attention span?
