Overview of the GH Armor Systems LEO H2 Threat Plate | GH-LEO-H2

Compatibility

The LEO H2 Special Threat Plate is a stand-alone plate, which means it delivers its rated ballistic protection independently without requiring soft armor underneath. It slides directly into any concealable or external carrier that has standard-sized plate pockets, making it a straightforward upgrade to virtually any existing armor setup.

The single-curve profile fits the most common carrier geometries used by law enforcement and fire/EMS agencies. The plate is available in five sizes and two cut styles, so you can match the pocket dimensions of your existing carrier exactly. Refer to the variant table in the Specifications section for the full size-to-weight breakdown.

What the LEO H2 is not designed for: It is not an ICW (in conjunction with) rifle plate and does not provide rated protection against rifle calibers. If your threat environment includes rifle rounds, consider pairing this plate with a rated rifle plate or contact GH Armor Systems to discuss their full hard armor line.

Intended Users

The GH Armor Systems LEO H2 Special Threat Plate is built for anyone who wears body armor in high-threat environments and needs supplemental coverage that does not slow them down.

Law enforcement officers on patrol, in corrections facilities, and in plainclothes assignments benefit from the plate's extremely low weight profile. Officers wearing concealable vests under their uniform shirts can tuck the LEO H2 into their carrier's chest or side pockets without noticeable added bulk or restriction.

Firefighters and EMS personnel working active threat protocols or operating in ambush-risk environments can outfit standard external carriers with this plate to add handgun protection without compromising the rapid movement their job demands.

Corrections officers dealing with close-quarters environments and improvised weapons threats can add the LEO H2 to their existing vests for an extra layer of confidence during facility operations.

Military and security professionals who rely on concealable or low-profile carrier setups will find the ultra-lightweight polyethylene construction particularly well-suited to extended wear over long operational periods.
