The HESCO 4403MC Level IV Plate (4403MC-SH-MC-L) gives you stand alone Level IV rifle protection in a 10 x 12 inch shooter cut, multi curve profile that fits most standard plate carriers. HESCO Armor builds the 4403MC as the most accessible entry into its Level IV lineup, pairing a ceramic and composite strike system with a water resistant CORDURA wrap so the plate holds up to daily carry, vehicle storage, and hard field use.
HESCO 4403MC Level IV Shooter Cut Multi Curve Plate for Stand Alone Rifle Protection
Features
- Stand alone Level IV protection means this plate stops rated rifle threats on its own, so you do not need a soft armor backer behind it.
- The multi curve shape follows the contour of your chest, which keeps the plate stable in the carrier and more comfortable through long shifts.
- The shooter cut profile trims the upper corners to clear your shoulder pocket, so you can mount a rifle stock and move your arms more freely.
- A polyurethane coated CORDURA fabric finish resists water, tears, and abrasion, so the plate tolerates being stored in a vehicle or tossed in a go bag.
- The slim 0.83 inch profile keeps your loadout low and compact compared to many other Level IV plates.
- HESCO publishes a threat performance matrix with minimum shot counts across lead core, mild steel core, and armor piercing rounds, so you know exactly what this plate is rated to defeat.
- The plate pairs with HESCO Level IV side plates when you want to extend coverage to your flanks.
Fit and Sizing
This listing covers the Large shooter cut, which measures 10.00 x 12.00 inches and is the most common size for standard plate carriers. HESCO also builds the 4403MC in a Small shooter cut and in four SAPI cut sizes, so measure your carrier's plate pocket before ordering. A properly fitted torso plate covers your vital organs without restricting your arms and shoulders when you draw, aim, or shoot.
