It uses advanced technology that incorporates a dual composite/ceramic composition to protect you. The Protector™ is designed to keep you safe from multiple hits of the most common rounds used in active shooter scenarios or by armed perpetrators.
The Protector™ comes in our one recommended size and shape only - 9.5”x 12.5” SAPI Cut which will fit most body types and sizes.
This is in order to ensure a good, ergonomic fit and great weapon manipulation on all body types.

Have a set for my K19 and one for my sub Zero, not as young as I used to so I have to keep weight down and these ones get the job done, now hopefully I won’t have to test them in full spectrum but I feel extremely confident that they will get the job done
Fit, Finish, and Quality were all exceeded. The only other plates I use are Velocity Systems. Over my years of operations and service, I balance threat level and weight, and thickness of the plates. These were a perfect option considering they defeat most typical rounds. The weight is perfect! Sub 5 lbs per plate and the distribution across the plate makes it seem even lighter. Thickness, my goal is .750 (in) or less. Once the Operator Plates go Sub .800 (in) I will pick those up as well! The plates fit perfectly in the Spiritus LV120 (M). Could not believe the price either! I thought it was a misprint when I saw the Labor Day Sale!
So I also have a spartan plate carrier with their level 3 st plates. But my Agilite k-zero carrier with Agilite’s 3 st plates is way better imo. It wears better and feels lighter. Although according to specs the Agilite plates are supposed to be a little heavier. But my shoulders say different. And Agilite offers lots of accessories that integrate seamlessly. I rarely leave reviews but Agilite is next level. I would have bought Agilite first if I had known all this. And I’m not a gear tester of theirs or anything like that. So I have nothing to gain by this. Just trying to help yal buy the right stuff the first time. Instead of doing what I did. You will thank me when you do.
This is by far the most comfortable and versatile carrier I have ever used period! Great product and I would not hesitate to buy again
Super thin and so light weight, absolutely amazing. Perfect fit into the K-Zero carrier. Highly recommend best plates you can buy.
I replaced my Safe Life Defense plates with the agilite level three plates. I didn’t think there would be that much of a difference however, I was wrong. Right off bat I could see that the agilite plates are cut in a more shooter friendly manner compared to the safe life defense ones. The second thing is the quality feel compared to the ones I’m replacing, I can tell agilite put some time into making these and making them strong. The last thing is that the weight is 1 pound lighter than the plate that I am replacing seeing as I will be purchasing side armor from Agilite this will make me Wearing both Agilite side plates and front and rear plates the same weight as the safe life defense front and rears only.
Outside of my US Army Service (veteran), this is my first Armor Plate purchase as a civilian. I'm glad I choose the "Protector" to get started. The size and weight is just right and the shipping was speedy. Thank you and I look forward to ordering more from you guys in the near future.
As a tall guy, I’ve always rocked level 4, 11x14 plates to give myself the most coverage possible, but it always came at a cost: my kit was stupid heavy. This summer I bought a K19, Protector plates, Warfighter cumber bun, and pincer placard and could not be happier. It fits well, it stays snugly in place when running and changing positions, and compared to my old kit, it’s as light as a feather. I’d highly recommend this set up to anyone looking to upgrade their gear, even the big guys out there!
I’m so impressed with the ingenuity and quality of the carrier. They really thought through the design and everything is stitched together very well. Not many things these days are worth the price I paid but I am severely convinced that this is.
It was one of the lightest and most reasonable priced for that level of protection. I’m running this armor in my K19 and it’s very comfortable. I dropped it one star because I guess there was too much glue applied when it was wrapped, causing the plate to feel tacky and sticky.
Amazing, comfortable and light
These plates are thin, light, and seem well made. They’re Hesco manufactured but to Agilite specs.
First PC I bought and very happy with the quality. High quality products worth every penny.
Level 3ST Ceramic Armor Plate - Protector™
This is my second set for my GTFO sub zero setup. Currently I am running sand “plates” for training but will be installing these back in and get a dedicated workout weight vest.
Light weight and fit the K-19 perfectly. They work well, but think the K19 is by far the best plate carrier I’ve ever owned! Have yet to find anything I don’t like about Agilite gear!!!
Level 3ST Ceramic Armor Plate - Protector™
These plates seem really well made and are very lightweight. They fit perfectly into my K19.
Super lightweight and a snug fit. I love how comfy a good multi curve plate is
I bought these for my personal vest for off duty response and for my department vest sense our department can't afford to purchase plates for patrol and I wanted to run extra protection. They surprisingly work well with the Kevlar behind it even though it's ment to be a standalone.
These plates are super lightweight and thin for the protection they offer. They make the K19 a perfect set
Very high quality!
Great purchase!
Awesome fit and comfort
Super light for what it is!
