Traditional standalone rifle plates often introduce unnecessary bulk and flat geometry, leading to physical strain, restricted range of motion, and decreased effectiveness during prolonged field deployments. The HighCom Guardian 3s11 resolves these operational obstacles by delivering certified Level III standalone ballistic protection in an ergonomically contoured, lightweight profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for government, municipal, and institutional buyers requiring dependable protection against rifle threats, the Guardian 3s11 combines a high-performance ceramic strike face with an advanced Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) backing matrix. Its multi-curve geometry distributes plate weight evenly across the torso, mitigating fatigue during long operational shifts. Standalone capability ensures full protection without requiring additional soft armor backing, streamlining armor configuration for agencies standardizing their equipment fleets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNIJ 0101.06 Certified Protection:\u003c\/b\u003e Officially listed on the National Institute of Justice Compliant Products List (CPL) for Level III standalone rifle threat mitigation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eErgonomic Multi-Curve Geometry:\u003c\/b\u003e Form-fitted to the human torso to eliminate pressure points, improve comfort, and sustain operator mobility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eComposite Matrix Construction:\u003c\/b\u003e Integrates an advanced ceramic strike face with a UHMWPE composite backing for high stopping power at a reduced weight profile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSpecial Threat Tested:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently verified to defeat common high-velocity threats, including 7.62x39mm Mild Steel Core (MSC) and 5.56x45mm M193 rounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStandalone Operational Capability:\u003c\/b\u003e Eliminates the need for soft armor backing inserts, reducing carrier bulk and weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e1000D CORDURA External Wrap:\u003c\/b\u003e Wrapped in a textured, high-durability nylon cover that resists severe environmental wear, chemical exposure, and water intrusion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e10-Year Ballistic Warranty:\u003c\/b\u003e Backed by a 10-year manufacturer warranty on ballistic materials to optimize agency lifecycle budgeting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e Guardian 3s11\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBallistic Rating:\u003c\/b\u003e NIJ Standard 0101.06 Level III Standalone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCompliance Status:\u003c\/b\u003e NIJ CPL Listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSpecial Threat Testing:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.62 x 39mm Mild Steel Core (123 gr at 2,400 ft\/s), 5.56 x 45mm M193 FMJ (55 gr at 3,250 ft\/s), 7.62 x 51mm M80 NATO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaterial Composition:\u003c\/b\u003e Ceramic Strike Face with UHMWPE Composite Backing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThickness \/ Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.0 inch (25 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCurvature:\u003c\/b\u003e Multi-Curve \/ Single-Curve options\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePlate Cut Options:\u003c\/b\u003e Shooters Cut, Swimmers Cut, Full Cut, SAPI Cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWeight Range:\u003c\/b\u003e Approximately 3.1 lbs to 6.2 lbs (depending on size and cut configuration; ~4.8 lbs for 10\"x12\" Shooters Cut)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eExterior Enclosure:\u003c\/b\u003e 1000D CORDURA Nylon Cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/b\u003e 10-year warranty on ballistic material; 1-year warranty on exterior cover and workmanship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HighCom","offers":[{"title":"Full Cut \/ 5\" x 7\"","offer_id":49075641188596,"sku":"HCA-3s11-SC-FC-57","price":248.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Cut \/ 5\" x 8\"","offer_id":49075649446132,"sku":"HCA-3s11-SC-FC-58","price":248.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Cut \/ 6\" x 6\"","offer_id":49075649478900,"sku":"HCA-3s11-SC-FC-66","price":248.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Cut \/ 6\" x 8\"","offer_id":49075649511668,"sku":"HCA-3s11-SC-FC-68","price":266.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Cut \/ 8\" x 10\"","offer_id":49075649544436,"sku":"HCA-3s11-SC-FC-810","price":469.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Cut \/ 10\" x 12\"","offer_id":49075649577204,"sku":"HCA-3s11-SC-FC-1012","price":570.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Shooter Cut \/ 8\" x 10\"","offer_id":49075649708276,"sku":"HCA-3s11-SC-SC-810","price":469.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Shooter Cut \/ 10\" x 12\"","offer_id":49075649741044,"sku":"HCA-3s11-SC-SC-1012","price":570.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Swimmer Cut \/ 10\" x 12\"","offer_id":49075660488948,"sku":"HCA-3s11-SC-ASC-1012","price":570.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2304\/8155\/files\/Guardian-3s11-Swimmers-Cut-1012-Level-III-Plate.jpg?v=1786068460","url":"https:\/\/rescue-supply.com\/products\/highcom-guardian-3s11-level-iii-lightweight-multi-curve-rifle-armor-plate","provider":"Rescue Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
