Hesco L110 Special Threat Side Plates

The Hesco L110 is a single-curve, special threat side plate designed to enhance side protection alongside your main armor. It is built with advanced composite materials, offers superior durability, and stops most intermediate threats, including light armor-piercing rounds like 7.62×39 API. Sold as a set—you’ll receive two plates, one for each side.

L110 Features:

• Highly Durable – Engineered for long-lasting protection.
• Single-Curve Design – Ensures a comfortable fit.
• Advanced Composite Materials – Enhances strength and impact resistance.
• Water-Repellant Polyurea Coating – Protects against moisture and environmental damage.
• Cordura Nylon Wrap – Adds an extra layer of durability.
• Buoyant – Designed to reduce weight without compromising protection.
• Made in the USA – Manufactured to the highest quality standards.

Special Rifle Threats:

The L110 is neither a Level 3 nor a Level 4 plate; it is classified as a Special Threat Plate. The National Institute of Justice (NIJ), which establishes armor plate ratings, defines:

• Level 3 plates as those capable of stopping 7.62×51mm M80 ball rounds.
• Level 4 plates as those capable of stopping .30-06 M2 AP rounds (NIJ 0101.06).

Since the NIJ does not cover all ballistic threats, some companies manufacture Special Threat Plates—plates specifically designed to counter certain threats outside the standard NIJ classifications. These plates typically omit M80 ball protection but are engineered to stop multiple AR-15 and AKM light armor-penetrating rounds.
