Hesco Testing Protocol
NIJ Certification of hard armor needs 10” x 12” test plates to show they can defeat specific rounds following a strict conditioning protocol. Level III requires six M80 rounds per plate, and Level IV requires one AP M2 per plate. NIJ allows other identically - constructed torso plates to be included in the Certification without extra testing. Hesco sets a higher standard by showing the minimum number of shots each size plate can handle and listing more threats not covered by NIJ.

Using these Hesco 800 Series 3800C torso plates is straightforward. Just make sure to choose the right size according to your needs - either the larger 3800C - LE - MC - L or the smaller 3800C - LE - MC - S. Put them on in your tactical gear as directed. When it comes to maintenance, keep them in a dry place. The waterproof coating helps, but don't expose them to excessive moisture for long periods. If they get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Also, be aware that these plates are made to order, so you'll need to wait 8 - 12 weeks for delivery. And remember, these plates are designed to meet high ballistic standards, but always follow safety protocols in high - risk situations.
