Tactical Scorpion’s polyethylene body armor plates are manufactured in the U.S. by our experienced craftsmen. We wanted to create a long-lasting, buoyant body armor that could withstand the most extreme ballistic conditions, so we chose pure ultra-high molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) material for the forming of our polyethylene armor plates.

Polyethylene body armor plates are usually about 40% stronger than standard Aramid yarns, have a strength to weight ratio 8-15 times greater than steel, and are highly resistant to abrasion and cracking. Tactical Scorpion Gear’s polyethylene armor plates are also extremely resistant to chemical damage.

Tactical Scorpion Gear carries several models of Level III+ PE body armor that come in multiple weights and shapes and that are compliant with the National Institute of Justice’s Standard-0101.06 for Ballistic Resistance of Body Armor. Our polyethylene armor plates fit most common carrier vests and complement Tactical Scorpion Gear’s own carrier vest line.
