EXTREMITIES

About

Extremity protection covers the body parts left exposed by a plate carrier: arms, legs, shoulders, and groin, areas that account for a significant portion of combat casualties. Hoplite Armor's extremity collection includes ballistic arm and leg guards, groin protectors, and shoulder plates designed to integrate with standard plate carrier systems and tactical gear. Our extremity armor is rated to NIJ Level IIIA, stopping most handgun threats including .44 Magnum, while remaining lightweight enough for extended wear. Materials include ballistic nylon, UHMWPE soft panels, and hard-plate inserts, depending on the level of protection required. Browse our full extremity lineup below. For complete protection setups, pair with body armor plates and a plate carrier .
