HTTI in Ukraine


*Updated* Includes 1x SAPI Medium(23cmx32cm) lightweight SiC plate level III+($465) or IV ($495)

Stand Alone: Defeats ballistic threats using the plate only

Multicurve: Curvatures in both horizontal and vertical direction contours with the human body and greatly increasing mobility and comfort during long term use, especially if your sitting down like driving a vehicle.

Multi hit: Our latest generation Light Weight SiC plate greatly increases multi-hit capability, meaning that even after multiple impacts their protective capability remains effective. The tile plates are much more laborious to produce and has increased manufacturing cost, but when done right it can be stronger then a monolithic design, and allowing impacts including drops to be isolated. Resulting in the highest performance in multi-hit penetration and BFD. (Level III+) 6 shots of M855 with the greatest deformation being only 29.75mm (level IV) 30-06 M2 166gr Armor Piercing at 2865fps with only 19.55mm of deformation.

Developed from the needs of our Ukrainian clients, each plate has our patented modular system built in and compatible accessories will be available for sale separately. (Trauma Pads, Emergency Plate Carrier, etc)

Serial numbers are laser-engraved on all of our bullet resistant equipment, this allows us to know the day, time, operator, and sourced material of your equipment to ensure full product history and traceability.

10 Year Warranty

(Level IV) Weight: 2.7kg / Thickness: 2.5cm

(Level III+) Weight: 2.35kg / Thickness: 2cm

We proudly manufacture our products in-house with care, allowing us to ensure quality at every step and the flexibility to adapt, make changes, and create new parts or products to match our standards. We strictly source our Kevlar from DuPont and other materials from Europe. HTTI’s entire series of bullet resistant products have passed ballistic testing at NTS Chesapeake to meet NIJ Standard and record BFD.

> HTTI’s entire series of bullet resistant products have passed ballistic testing at NTS Chesapeake to comply with 0101.06 NIJ Standard, we may pursue full certification as we expand into North America but not at this time.

Interesting edit…

Can you clarify what you mean by claiming to have “passed”, but not seeking certification?

Is that because of the volume required to send in for actual certification or because of region of production?

Orders with plates and helmets will receive free ship, option will be available upon check out. For those that prefer EMT (4%off) you can contact info@htti.ca or call (647) 391-8858 Monday – Saturday 10AM-6PM EST.

The difference between passed a test and certified is easy enough to find.

They say they sent plates to NTS Chesapeake which is an official lab that actually does NIJ testing and the plates were shot.

The difference between passed and certified in this case is a lot more money being spent, a lot more plates being tested under different climates and wear and tear conditions and a regular inspection and random testing to ensure quality control is maintained.

The plates have been shot and can theoretically stop bullets. If that's not good enough for someone, then I'm not going to blame them for wanting a certified plate but that does typically mean more expensive plates and not many Canadian companies that sell to civilians have gotten full NIJ certification.

Yes correct, and the NIJ an agency of the U.S, arriving for regular inspection of facilities and random testing by certified personnel has extra challenges being we manufacture in Taiwan. Full certification can be achieved, and the increased difficulties and cost may make sense as we expand in North America then pursue full certification, as at the moment the majority of our clients are in Europe and Asia many with their own testing facilities.

Received a few questions regarding if plates will be sold individually or only in sets of two. Options are now 1x Medium Silicon Carbide Ceramic Tiles plate level (III+ or IV) and set of our SHOCKEZE Trauma Pads for $575 III+ or $600 IV.

Plate Development

Gen 1


Gen 2


Gen3

How much gap is there between the hexagonal ceramics and the edge of the finished plate? Do you cut partial hexagons to fill in the gaps in the pattern? An x-ray type photo would be great.

The photo above is a representation how far the tiles go to the edge, the vitals will be well within the effective coverage area. The tiles can be made right to the edge, but having reinforcement around the ceramic greatly protects the plate from drop/impact damage, and the tile design ensures if any one gets damaged it is isolated, vs a monolithic ceramic plate that goes right to the edge, a single drop/impact can compromise the entire plate. Most civilian clients take great care of their plates so it may not be as much of an issue, but during development we had to take into consideration the abuse these plates may go through.

For those who prefer the single piece plates we also manufacture the Gen 1 with added improvements, and are more cost efficient while still providing our customers with a high quality plate they may be more familiar with. I will make a separate post with more info when they become available.

Are these plates used by any Taiwanese police or military forces, or are Ukrainians the only professional users of these plates?

HTTI unrelated to the equipment issued and provided by the Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense, that is not produced by us. We did offer our expertise to them during recent events. Teaching is a passion for us, and it still continues to this day. In fact HTTI began solely for the research and development of bullet resistant equipment, and our main objective was to openly share various ballistic science and technology knowledge, and assist Taiwanese military and police agencies in conducting ballistic technology tours. We are currently running classes at our facilities to teach protective equipment production skills in the civilian sector and contribute to the national defense logistics field. We are trusted and preferred by many that work professionally in Taiwan.

Information on who procure our equipment is bound by confidentiality agreement, its extremely rare to receive a video such as this from an agency along with the permission to use it for our own posting. There are also times when more then one manufacturer will provide for large government orders that are time sensitive, such as in a very recent conflict.

edit:

We also specialize in contract manufacturing/OEM

Can I come to the shop and look and size a plate carrier?

Our shop is online only for the time being, I will PM you and see how I can assist you further. Thank you
