TacCommander Stab Plates are both knife and spike resistant at all energy levels. Measuring 11 7/8'' H x 9 7/8'' W x 5/16'' thick and weighing just under 1lb each, these plates were designed to easily fit into TacCommander's front and back MOLLE torso pouches along with the blunt force plates - offering extra protection during crowd control situations. These lightweight, hard multi-layer composite stab plates are intended to protect the torso against slash and stab threats. They have been engineered to afford protection against injury from penetration by knives, edged weapons, and sharp-pointed weapons while ensuring that the movement of the wearer is not unduly restricted. The protected area ensures coverage of the vital organs; in particular, the heart, liver, spine, kidneys, and spleen.
