{"product_id":"gh-armor-systems-leo-h2-special-threat-plate","title":"GH Armor Systems LEO H2 Special Threat Plate","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe GH Armor Systems LEO H2 Special Threat Plate is a standalone, multi-hit polyethylene plate designed to provide handgun protection against multiple special threat rounds, with additional coverage against blunt force trauma. The plate is available in two sizes (7\" x 9\" and 5\" x 8\"), both in a full cut, and fits concealable and external carriers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Special Threat Rounds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LEO H2 Special Threat Plate is rated for handgun protection against multiple special threat rounds in a standalone configuration. That standalone rating matters: the plate does not require a soft armor backer to achieve its stated protection level, which simplifies carrier selection and reduces overall system weight. Multi-hit capability means the plate is designed to remain protective after more than one impact, a meaningful consideration for any serious defensive loadout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBlunt Force Trauma Reduction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LEO H2 Special Threat Plate addresses blunt force trauma in addition to ballistic protection. Trauma mitigation is a practical benefit during extended operational use, where repeated impacts or a single high-energy strike can cause injury independent of penetration. This capability is stated as part of the plate's design intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLightweight Polyethylene Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LEO H2 Special Threat Plate is constructed from polyethylene, a material chosen for its low weight relative to its protective performance. The single-curve profile conforms to the body's natural contour, improving comfort during extended wear and reducing fatigue under load. A diamond rip-stop nylon cover protects the plate's surface and adds durability against abrasion and tearing in field conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandalone multi-hit protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e rated for handgun special threat rounds without requiring a soft armor backer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlunt force trauma coverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to reduce energy transfer from impact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolyethylene construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e ultra-lightweight ballistic material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-curve profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e contoured shape for improved body fit and comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiamond rip-stop nylon cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e abrasion-resistant outer shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the USA:\u003c\/strong\u003e manufactured domestically by GH Armor Systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003e7\" x 9\" Full\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003e5\" x 8\" Full\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e7\" x 9\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e5\" x 8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCut\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFull\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFull\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.15 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.15 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eComposition\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePolyethylene\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePolyethylene\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCover\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDiamond Rip-Stop Nylon\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDiamond Rip-Stop Nylon\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCurve\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSingle-Curve\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSingle-Curve\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStandalone, Multi-Hit\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStandalone, Multi-Hit\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMade in USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMade in USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eKRC-GH-LEO-H2-7X9FC\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eKRC-GH-LEO-H2-5X8FC\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe LEO H2 Special Threat Plate suits law enforcement officers, security professionals, and civilians who need lightweight supplemental handgun protection against special threat rounds.
