Level III+ Elite Rifle Shield
The DFNDR Armor® Elite Ultra Lightweight Level III+ Rifle Shield is one of the lightest full-size shields available. The shield was engineered specifically for operators who demand exceptional mobility, rapid weapon transitions, and confident maneuvering even in tight, confined-space environments. With a design optimized for both right- and left-side deployment, these shields support seamless handgun and long-gun engagement, ensuring versatility when seconds matter. These shields use advanced ballistic composite technology with no ceramics or metals, virtually eliminating ricochet concerns and enhancing multi-hit resilience. The design includes reinforced corners for blunt-force impact protection, and a polyurea-coated ballistic core for longevity and environmental protection (No ceramic elements to crack, chip, or compromise performance). The carry handle is ambidextrous providing forearm support via a hook/loop strap system with a high-density foam pad for comfort and shock absorption.
