Maximum Rifle Protection Without Excess Weight
Silicon carbide ceramic strike face with a UHMWPE composite backing -- NIJ 0101.06 Level IV protection against armor-piercing rifle threats at roughly 5.125 lbs per plate.
Mosaic Ceramic Strike Face
Interlocking silicon carbide ceramic tiles — rather than one solid slab — bonded to a UHMWPE composite backing, localizing damage at the point of impact instead of compromising the whole plate. The UHMWPE backing is shaped with a multi-curve profile for a closer, more natural fit against the body.
Multi-Hit Tested: .30 Cal M2 AP
NIJ 0101.06 tested to stop up to 3 rounds of .30 Cal M2 armor-piercing @ 2,887 fps from 42 feet — the silicon carbide strike face fractures and disrupts each round in turn.
Reduced-Weight Level IV
Starting at 5.125 lbs per plate, Sanctum delivers armor-piercing-rated protection at a fraction of the weight of traditional monolithic ceramic Level IV plates.
SAPI & Mobility Cuts | Multi-Curve
Available in a SAPI cut for maximum coverage or a Mobility (Assault) cut for a closer range of motion — mix and match front and back to fit your loadout.

MULTI-HIT CAPABLE
Multi-Curve Ergonomics
Nylon wrapped wrapped 360 coverage plus foam edge protection and foam front padding protects the ceramic strike face from damage.
Discrete, minimal, and lightweight, the Silicon Carbide (SiC) strike face is arranged in a mosaic pattern rather than square tile or monolithic strike faces giving enhanced multi-hit durability.
UHMWPE behind the ceramic strike face provides a stable base for enhanced ceramic compression and subsequent capture of projectile fragmentation and kinetic dispersion.
Thanks to the mosaic strike face, the Sanctum plate is capable of taking multiple M2 impacts without failing.
Multi-curve design in all of our PE plates ensures a better and more natural fit, allowing for more comfortable prolonged use in demanding conditions.
Lighter, Multi-Hit, AP-Rated Defense
Key Features
Level IV Protection
- Silicon carbide ceramic strike technology engineered to defeat armor-piercing rifle threats with reduced weight compared to traditional ceramic armor.
Mosaic Ceramic Strike Face
Mosaic ceramic strike faces are constructed from interlocking ceramic tiles rather than a single solid ceramic slab. This design helps localize damage at the point of impact, preserving surrounding strike zones and improving real-world durability compared to monolithic ceramics, which can lose effectiveness across a larger area after a single hit. See FAQ: What are Ceramic (Silicon Carbide) Armor Plates?
Fragmentation Protection
Ceramic strike faces disrupt and fragment incoming projectiles, reducing secondary fragmentation and spreading impact energy across the armor system.
Stand-Alone
- This stand-alone body armor is built for multiple-hit capability following rigorous testing to ensure protection that meets NIJ 0101.06 standards.

Applications
Choose Your Plate Size Based on Torso Coverage, Not Body Weight
Plate size is determined by your torso's width and height, not your overall body weight -- an oversized plate restricts movement, an undersized plate leaves vital areas exposed.
Sizing Specifications
| Plate Size/Cut | Nominal Dimensions | Weight (Approx.) | Tolerance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small SAPI | 8.75" x 11.75" x 1" | 4.68 lbs | ±3% (W/L) · ±2% (Thickness) |
| Medium SAPI | 9.5" x 12.5" x 1" | 5.56 lbs | ±3% (W/L) · ±2% (Thickness) |
| 10x12 Mobility (Assault) | 10" x 12" x 1" | 5.12 lbs | ±3% (W/L) · ±2% (Thickness) |
Important Notes:
- Select Two Plates:Plates are sold individually -- select two (front and back coverage) in your chosen size and cut.
- Measure First:Measure from the sternal notch to two inches above the navel for height, and across the chest for width, before selecting a plate size.

Frequently Asked Questions
What threats does the Sanctum plate stop?
Sanctum is rated NIJ 0101.06 Level IV Compliant and has been tested to stop up to three rounds of .30 Cal M2 AP (armor-piercing) ammunition at 2,887 fps from a 42-foot distance. The silicon carbide strike face fractures and disrupts incoming projectiles while the UHMWPE composite backing absorbs residual energy.
What is a mosaic ceramic strike face, and why does it matter?
Mosaic ceramic strike faces are built from interlocking ceramic tiles rather than a single solid slab. This helps localize damage at the point of impact, preserving surrounding strike zones and improving real-world durability compared to monolithic ceramics, which can lose effectiveness across a larger area after a single hit.
How long does it take for Sanctum plates to ship?
Level IV plates are made to order. Armor Lead Time: Ships in 5-7 Business Days -- longer than our standard 3-5 day lead time on other plates, since each Sanctum plate is built to order. Body armor also cannot be shipped to New York or Connecticut, or outside the United States.
How do I choose the right Sanctum plate size?
Plate size is based on your torso's width and height, not your body weight -- see the Sizing & Fit tab for full measuring instructions. Sanctum is available in Small (8" x 10", SAPI cut) and Standard (10" x 12", SAPI or Mobility/Assault cut). Plates are sold individually, so select two (front and back) in your chosen size and cut.
What happens if I'm shot while wearing a Sanctum plate?
Shot while wearing it? We'll replace your Sanctum plate free of charge with a valid police report.
