WEIGHT OR PROTECTION?

LEVEL III+ VS

GREEN TIP

PICK MY PLATE

Armor labels get confusing fast, especially when two plates look similar, but are built for different realities.

Fortis III+ is for you if:
You want a lighter plate that still gives rifle-rated protection.

• Multi-hit, multi-curve
• Edge-to-edge UHMWPE construction

• Integrated trauma mitigation technology

• 3.4 lb (10”x12”x1.1”)

Choose the Fortis III+ if your priority is staying lighter on-body and you anticipate common rifle threats like M193.

Fortis GT is for you if:
You need Level III plus a green tip solution (M855 is a likely threat).

• Multi-hit, multi-curve
• Edge-to-edge UHMWPE/SIC construction
• Boron/Silicon Carbide tile strike face
• 4.5 lb (10”x12”x1.2”)

Choose the Fortis GT if you’d rather carry more weight and get the extra “I’m covered” margin with M855 protection.
