April 16, 2025 – LA VERNE, CALIF. —PROJECT7 Armor is proud to announce the retail release of the improved Ultralight Plate Rack (UPR), a specialized ballistic armor platform built for professionals who demand high performance, low weight, and mission-focused protection. Additionally, for the first time ever, UPR is available for direct purchase by verified sworn law enforcement officers and military personnel through their online retail store at www.project7armor.com.
Originally engineered for high-mobility operations where weight, agility, and reliability are paramount, UPR has earned a reputation as a purpose-driven platform tailored to the needs of specialized units. Whether for aerial platforms, vertical access, maritime operations, or linear assaults, the UPR delivers an ultralightweight solution.
Now Refined with New Capabilities and Enhanced Modularity
The latest version of UPR builds on the original’s “hard armor first” foundation with new features designed to increase functionality without adding unnecessary bulk.
New Features Include:
• Internal & External Wire Routing Channels – Integrated cable management options for routing communications equipment and power cables cleanly and securely.
• FLEX & FLEXAROO Loadout System Compatibility – Seamlessly scale your platform with modular loadout systems for added storage and mission-specific attachments.
• Wider Cummerbunds – Expanded fit and stability, improving balance under load.
• Compatible with New 3PC-HA Hard Armor Cummerbund – Supports P7’s new 3PC-HA Hard Armor Cummerbund, featuring internal plate pockets to accommodate 6″ x 6″ rifle-rated side plates for enhanced lateral protection.
“UPR has always been about giving operators maximum protection with minimum footprint,” said Jon Becker, CEO at PROJECT7 Armor. “These enhancements directly address feedback from the field, allowing for greater mission adaptability while maintaining the trusted ultralight profile that makes UPR essential for high-mobility operations.”
UPR continues to be available in 3 platform sizes and 8 cummerbund sizes, creating 24 possible size combinations to ensure precise fit for all operators.
