The Vanguard IIIA+ Armor by Extremis is a breakthrough in female-curved ballistic protection, developed through the company’s patented processes to deliver unmatched comfort, fit, and performance in a hard armor plate. This innovation was born from a real-world need—after a close friend of the founder retired early due to chronic pain caused by years of wearing ill-fitting flat armor, Extremis Systems committed to solving the problem. By combining unconventional composite materials with cutting-edge manufacturing techniques, Extremis created a lightweight armor plate that adapts to the natural contours of the female body—without sacrificing ballistic integrity.
The Vanguard IIIA+ is NIJ 0101.06 Level IIIA certified, with additional protection against FN 5.7x28mm, 9mm, .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and NIJ Spike 3 (0115.00) threats. It delivers high-performance protection with a low-profile thickness of just 0.3 inches and a featherweight build of 1.8 lbs (size SC3/medium). Whether used in law enforcement, corrections, or tactical operations, the Vanguard IIIA+ provides real protection for real bodies—with zero compromises.
