I find no evidence that the product you're talking about actually exists; it's not mentioned anywhere on the manufacturer's site, and it wouldn't make sense for them to be advertising the Flash 500 test if they had something better. Based on what they actually claim to have, 10 lb/sf would be about DR 30, and the 125 lb plate armor could manage an overall DR of about 15 (though with the way GURPS handles armor coverage, it's probably more like DR 20 with weak points).
