Dragon Skin™ 2.5 Flexible Plate
The Dragon Skin™ 2.5 is our mainline, affordably priced flexible rifle plate and the workhorse of the Dragon Skin™ lineup. It is built around overlapping silicon carbide / titanium diboride (SiC/TiB₂) hybrid ceramic tiles in our signature disc-array architecture, giving you proven multi-hit rifle defeat in a plate that contours and moves with the body. The hybrid tile system delivers the high-end ballistic performance of our premium DS 3.0 platform at a price point built for everyday operators, patrol officers, and prepared civilians who want real Dragon Skin™ technology without the flagship cost.
