    Exactly what the description says. Had it on my doorstep in less than 36 hours and I ordered at like 3:00pm on a Saturday and did not pay extra for shipping! For the price the weight and level of protection is awesome!

    Got these before they went on backorder, but the shipping was extremely fast I had them within 3-4 days. The weight for the lvl4 plates is as advertised and they sit right in the middle of other lvl 4 plates in terms of cost to weight ratio. I performed a Tap and torque test when received and they passed. Construction appears to be quality and numerous videos of live testing confirm Guard Dogs claims. Will be buying a 2nd set for my wife in the future.

  12. jacob s. (verified owner)

    Well I haven’t been shot, so thankfully I haven’t had to vet it’s effectiveness, but comfortable and feels sturdy and fits my medium FCPC V5

    What an amazing company. When looking to purchase I saw Tim kennedy’s video review and I was shocked. I then went to purchase based upon more digging but unfortunately was on backorder. I explained to the company I was LEO and given recent mass shooting events I was hoping to get it sooner than later. Next thing I know about 6 days later a package was at my door. Thank you GDBA family yall are truly amazing!

  20. Darren (verified owner)

    More than I expected. Highly recommended. Very quick shipping. Do not buy another brand till you check these guys out. Two thumbs up.

  21. Tim Choate (verified owner)

    Excellent service and beyond excellent product! I was debating between these plates and a different brand that were nearly 3 times the cost of these. I couldn’t be happier with the choice I made with Guard Dog. A huge thank you to everyone at this company for not only making my experience of purchasing the plates great, but also supplying life saving equipment to the average everyday patriot. Keep up the good work ladies and gentlemen!

    Wonderful, I’ve worn life preservers that weighed more! Wore around for a few hours in a k19 completing mods and chores with none of the usual drawbacks of donning a plate carrier.

    Great overall experience. I had a minor issue with my first order but customer service replied almost immediately and were absolutely amazing to work with. My issue was resolved super fast. I then bought a second set. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and the plates fit perfect in my carriers. I have already recommended them to multiple family members and friends.

  54. Sergio E. (verified owner)

    My experience with Guard Dog has been truly exceptional. From ordering online to it’s blazing expedited shipping speed. In my opinion, they have set the bar in which online businesses should operate at. This was my first purchase from them and it won’t be the last. As for the product itself, it arrived in excellent condition. With that said, I have had no need to experience the customer service end of their business, which I can imagine would would be of equal caliber. Thanks be to God that I haven’t needed it to be put the plates to the test, however the video demo provided by Tim Kennedy of the product clearly demonstrated it’s capabilities. If it was good enough for Tim, it’ll be good enough for me. Keep up the outstanding work Guard Dog!

  55. Jeffrey (verified owner)

    The plates seem good…I haven’t tested them. The customer service is top notch though. My plates were mislabeled and I initially thought they were thr wrong plates. GDBA responded promptly and even hooked me up with free gear because of it.

  61. Mickey H. (verified owner)

    Super lightweight. The plates have a soft outer coating that surprisingly makes a difference in comfort when they are in the vest. The plates came in fast and seem very high-end.

  62. Brett (verified owner)

    Great plates, light and seem like good quality. Haven’t had to test them thankfully but more than enough YouTube videos to show it’s capabilities. Would like an 8×10 option, my current outer carrier wasn’t able to accept the 10×12 plate in the front.

  63. J Brett (verified owner)

    The shipping was very fast , I am very happy! 10 out of 10 would shop again!!!!

    Everything came well packed and I great shape. I haven’t shot these plates and tested but I would garrentee that they will hold up. There are many videos on YouTube showing others mag dumping with no pass through. Great product and even better company.

    Ordered on a Thursday, and the package was delivered the following Monday to central Texas.

  88. Justin (verified owner)

    Plates look and feel great – fit right into an ACU body armor (US Army surplus) – a little tight but they wiggled in and fill out the plate slot nicely. I’m not going to shoot the plate but based on YouTube reviews I’ve seen I’m quite happy with the purchase and will recommend these to friends.

  89. Juan Villarreal (verified owner)

    These plates were not only affordable but also very comfortable. I’m utilizing a Shellback Rampage 2.0 carrier. Fairly good fit, slight play but overall good to go.

  90. Jason M. (verified owner)

    I’ve watches some reviews videos on this plate and they seemed to do the job. They are about 1″thick and don’t seem toooooo heavy. I have not weighed them but seem close to the advertise weight. Great product.

  91. Philip M. (verified owner)

    Fits great in my Agilite K19 plate carrier.

  92. Joshua Knight (verified owner)

    Super fast shipping. Ordered them April 26th at 6pm had them the 29th by noon. They appear to be high quality, and fit my plate carrier nicely. Will be ordering a set of the Ridgeback plates.

  93. Justin (verified owner)

    My second set of these plates – I was so impressed with the first set that I bought another. They are a bit tight in the ACU armor system but fit just fine. Not too heavy, look very clean and based on the Youtube videos I’ve watched, should stop most everything thrown at them.

    Both sets of plates I bought shipped quickly and I received email updates when the order was received and when shipment was made. On my first order I had an error and customer service reached out to me before I could contact them.

    So far, this company has impressed me with their reliability and communications. I would recommend them to anyone asking.

    I have been more than happy with my new Ceramic Plates. I can’t say enough great things about the product and how quickly it was shipped to me! Money well spent

  109. Verified Buyer (verified owner)

    I recently purchased the Level IV Ceramic Body Armor Plates (10”x12”, 5.7lbs) with SPALL GUARD, and I’m thoroughly impressed! The combination of top-tier ceramic materials and the added SPALL GUARD technology ensures superior protection without compromising on weight.

    These plates offer a perfect balance between durability and comfort, making them ideal for extended wear. The 10”x12” size provides ample coverage, and at 5.7lbs, you almost forget you’re wearing them. The SPALL GUARD works effectively, providing an extra layer of security.

    Whether you’re a professional or a concerned citizen, these plates are a solid investment in personal safety. Stay protected without the unnecessary bulk – these plates get a solid thumbs up from me!

    I have recently purchased the level 4, 5.7 pound plates based on the videos I have seen from guard dog and classic firearms on YouTube . They are quite impressive. The reviews were also really great and I must admit the shipping was exactly as advertised in reviews. From purchase to my front door was 3 days. I havent got to try them yet, thankfully, but am sure they will be as advertised. They looked fabulous and were lighter than I thought they would be. I would definitely recommend and will be buying a second set in the near future. Thanks Guard dog for being a great company selling great American made products.!!!

  121. Jordon W. (verified owner)

    Quality was perfect and everything was as advertised. Would definitely buy again and have also recommended these plates to other people.

  122. Steven W. (verified owner)

    Purchased for a Guard Dog Dane plate carrier. Both are tremendous values and come with great features. The plate is a perfect fit and is crazy light for being level IV rated! I’ve seen the independent reviews and this plate was stopping multiple 308 armor piercing black tips and 5.56 penetrator green tip rounds. Purchased a Guard Dog FAST ballistic helmet and all together, represent the best kit, for the money, I could find.

    Lightning fast shipping and quality product!! A+++
