TACSTORE:

Lightweight, but not reckless

Modern ballistic equipment faces a crucial challenge: weight. Protection Group Denmark offers lightweight hard armor plates, particularly from their LW series, utilizing UHMWPE technology. This results in plates weighing under one kilogram, enhancing mobility and reducing fatigue. Explore the complete LW series at TACSTORE.

Anyone involved in modern ballistic equipment cannot avoid one key issue: weight.

Protection Group Denmark (PGD) has addressed this very issue and offers a range of hard armor plates that are among the lightest options on the market—without compromising on essential protection levels.

Models from the LW (Lightweight) series in particular show the way forward: by using UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), it is possible to produce plates that weigh significantly less than traditional ceramic solutions.

One example is the ultra-light LW ICW plates, which can weigh less than one kilogram. This puts PGD in a range that was hardly realistic just a few years ago.

The result: greater mobility, less fatigue—especially during extended wear.

Stop by and discover the complete LW series, made in the EU, now at TACSTORE.
