A friend gave me some Protech level III plates for duty in the event of an active shooter, but I want to find out more about them. I have searched for some time but have come up with nothing. Here is the info:

PROTECH
Model: 2013 Plus
Threat Level: Type III (IAW NIJ STD 0101.03)
10x12 Date Issue: 11/02
Serial: 0211PL360
Lot: SSP-12

I know they are 10 yrs old, but they are like new. I am familiar with NIJ standards. I'm just curious what they are made of and if they have any multi-hit capabilities. Or if they just scream "I'm fake!"
I have to trust my life to these, so as much info as possible would be very helpful. TIA

I dont know anything about those plates but protech is approved by the NIJ and IMO you should be able to trust any product from a company on this NIJ list.

Protech is still in business, just give them a call and open the conversation with "I have a technical question about a hard armor plate your company makes" and I'm sure you will find someone who can give you the answers you are looking for.

I had already given them a call and they were no help. Apparently this model isn't in production anymore. If anyone recognizes this type of plate, any info would be helpful. I appreciate the suggestions guys.
