Strengthening your current armor can be faster than swapping the whole setup. This FMS upgrade plate adds a dedicated layer over an existing III+ hard plate, taking a V3 configuration to a V4-equivalent one without replacing your vest or buying a full new system.
Once mounted, the two plates function as one. The combined setup raises total ballistic performance to a level equivalent to 4+, with stronger stopping power against a wider range of rounds. At 300 by 240 mm and about 8 mm thick at roughly 1.3 kg, the slim profile helps keep the added layer easy to carry.
Quick to install, it suits units looking to reinforce existing gear without a full rebuild.
