The Agilite Operator™ is the highest performing body armor available on the market today. It is designed to give you the very best: extreme threat protection, Extreme light weight, a thin profile and more.
It’s the zero compromise option for Special Operations Forces, PMC’s, top tier LE teams and others who operate daily in extremely high threat environments.
Unique features of the Operator™ include protection from the US Military’s new M855A1 Enhanced Rifle round. With approximately 40% of combat deaths in every conflict to date being from friendly fire, the need for protection against an inadvertent friendly round is just as important as protection against hostile threats. The Enhanced round can penetrate ⅜” thick steel from 1000ft and slices through many normal Level IV plates with ease, but the Operator™ stops multiple Enhanced Rifle rounds in their tracks.
Despite its exceptional level of protection, it weighs just 5.1lbs. We all know the nagging pain of ordinary plates that induces fatigue and affects your focus and combat awareness.
The Operator™ is an ultra lightweight, anti-fatigue, multi-curve ergonomic plate that hugs your body. It’s engineered to be able to give you advanced protection, yet you can wear it for days on end with zero hotspots. Part of the “Secret Sauce” is that it’s made from a fusion of Ceramic Composite and Honeywell Spectra™, an industry-leading ultra lightweight, high-molecular weight fiber that’s pound for pound 15 times stronger than steel.
While intended for elite SOF, Operator™ Plates are also available for anyone who wants to own the best. It’s for those who know that it’s what they’ll be wearing during the defining seconds and minutes of their entire life. People go the extra mile to buy premium gadgets, appliances and vehicles, but there’s nothing more important than something that can literally save your life and make you a hero, not a casualty.
Body armor is like a reserve parachute-it’s almost never used but if it is, its performance is critical. The Operator™ gives you the ability to take the price tag off your life.
