The Hard Armor Panels from our Rhino series are ideal for all your high threat level ballistic requirements. These panels are designed with exceptional resistance to harsh environmental conditions and provide guaranteed comfort.

The Rhino series includes panels made of either ceramic-based hybrid composite or high-performance polyethylene. These are lightweight materials that can effectively absorb ballistic impacts allowing energy dissipation. The panels are covered with PU or Nylon based fabric to make the inserts highly durable.

The Rhino series ballistic panels have protection levels ranging from NIJ III, NIJ III+ to NIJ IV, and can be used in conjunction with soft armor or as stand-alone inserts. The Rhino series ballistic plates dissipate energy by containing spall, debris, and residues after ballistic impact. These ballistic plates are designed to offer active resistance to fungus and microbial growth and offers fluid resistance as well.

When used in conjunction with the soft armour (ICW), the Rhino series plates have multi-hit resistance to a wide range of ammunitions, whereas the standalone (STA) plates can withstand ballistic threats without the use of bullet proof vests.
