Very light weight and well made. I carry it in my laptop bag daily. Thankfully I haven’t had to use it. I would love to see a III+ plate made like it.

I had come across this company by watching several YouTube videos of people testing different body armor plates with different caliber guns. I was originally looking for the backpack insert for my son,it was sold out at the time so I bought this one because it was in my price range . Extremely fast shipping lightweight and fits in his backpack had to put a jacket under the plate to lift it up some to provide better coverage but fits well in his back back is light weight and can’t tell that it’s there.

Most impressive feature is how light these plates are. They fit perfectly into most plate carriers. Hope I never really need them. Lol.

The box they came in is heavier than the plates themselves. I haven’t been shot wearing these plates, I’ll revise my review if they don’t work… you know or not 💀

A coworker recommended Guard Dog when he learned I was in the market for a new set of plates. I had already decided on another company’s product but figured I would take a look. I found the Ridgeback M4+, which seemed to be of better quality at a significantly lower price than the plates I had previously settled on. I bought these plates to see how well they were made and how Guard Dog’s customer service was before ordering the Ridgebacks.
I ordered the plates on a Friday around 11am (standard shipping and no special instructions about expediting the order or anything of that nature) and they were delivered the next day. These plates are wrapped and put together extremely well and are very light and comfortable. They are thin and light enough for my small framed 7 year daughter to wear comfortably, if needed. I was very impressed with these plates and ordered the Ridgebacks (which arrived about an hour ago) a few weeks after receiving these plates (IIIa Ultralight). These are awesome plates if you need something light weight and thin and are, by far, the best IIIa hard plates I’ve ever encountered.
