Gun violence will always be a threat factor for countless Americans. As seen throughout the chaos of 2020, even as the global pandemic shut down many cities and states, gun violence soared. Cities deemed safe only months ago are now witnessing gun violence at unprecedented levels.
It’s a sobering reminder that a bad situation can always get worse and that preparing to protect yourself and your family from any threat means protecting yourself from the human element as well. With hundreds of vendors on the market selling dozens of types of body armor, how can you possibly know which one is right for you?
That’s where MIRA Tactical’s Level IV Body Armor comes in.
Like all of our protective offerings, our new poly-ceramic blend armor makes absolutely zero compromises in terms of quality and reliability. We’ve used the most advanced methods and materials to deliver a lightweight practical solution for everyone, from first-time buyers to those experienced with body-armor seeking to upgrade.
Most affordable armor solutions on the market today limit you to Level IIIA, Level III, or Level III+ in terms of overall protection. Adding our Level IV body armor plates can significantly enhance the protection for your vital organs when paired with standard plate carriers or inserted inside your everyday backpack, all without the addition of extreme weight.
The key to our Level IV Body Armor’s lightweight strength lies in the combination of Alumina Oxide Ceramic (AI203) and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), which are both lighter and more durable than the steel used in most Level III armor. Early adopters in police and special forces military units can already attest to the lifesaving power of these lightweight composites.
After fabrication, the plates are shaped to the standard 10” x 12” size used for most plate carriers with a standard right-hand shooter’s cut for improved comfort. Initial plates were tested with armor piercing 5.56 mm and 30.06 rifle rounds, withstanding multiple shots in each test.
The end result? A sub-6-pound plate that’s less than an inch thick can stop multiple 3,000 feet-per-second armor-piercing battle rifle rounds.
And unlike most steel and ceramic Level IV offerings that weigh anywhere from 7.5–13 pounds, the MIRA Tactical Level IV plate won’t break your back, literally, helping you avoid long-term lower back, hip, and knee ailments caused by carrying heavy loads.
MIRA Safety is proud to offer our new MIRA Tactical Level IV Body Armor to police, military personnel, independent security contractors, and US-based civilians. It’s what we wear.
