Adept’s flagship RF1 Storm Foundation Plate now integrates Ivoryguard, shaving another .1-pound of an already featherlight design — down to 2.3 pounds — while maintaining combat-proven .9-inch thickness and NIJ III/RF1 ballistic rating. The result is military-grade protection that feels effortless to wear, with further reduced backface deformation upon impact. Ivoryguard is a breakthrough foam technology that defies conventional engineering limits. At just 0.068 gm/cc, it’s lighter than silica aerogel — often called “the world’s lightest solid” — yet tougher than traditional heavy-duty foams used in armor, helmet padding and other high-impact applications. In head-to-head tests, Ivoryguard outperformed leading materials by 20 to 360 percent in weight-adjusted energy absorption. MSRP: $325. Contact: www.ade.pt/product/level-3-body-armor
