AR550 Level III+ Body Armor Tech Sheet with PolyShield Spall Protection
AR550 Shooters Standard Coating (No Spall Protection) Tech Sheet
We have gone above and beyond to bring you steel body armor of a HIGHER CALIBER.
This can be seen with our bend process, our fragmentation coating and our finishing details. This was the material that we started from and have the most experience with. We’ve seen it, done it, we’ve improved it.
Steel Body Armor provides great protection that can stop multiple projectile hits. We have been working with different levels of abrasion resistant (AR) ballistic steel for years and have not found a better product for the price point than our AR550 Steel Body Armor Plates. This armor is rated at a level III+ as it can defeat special threats like M855 rounds.
All of our steel plates come in one ergonomic curve option. We have worked with LE, and first responders to design a curve that you can be comfortable wearing. We provide this at no additional cost. What is unique about the way that we bend our steel is important too. We have designed a press that creates a multi curve bend in ONE step. Why is this important? When you do multiple bends to achieve a multi curve, it puts extra strain on the plate which can weaken it. We have replicated the same curves that you have seen in multi curve ceramic armor for years.
Our Shooters Cut body armor plate shaves off some weight while giving you mobility to shoulder your weapon or move comfortably. With our shooters cut plates you still have ample coverage to protect your rvital organs. Our SAPI Style 10×12 can be used when you are looking for more coverage. It’s an excellent choice to use as a back plate with the shooters cut in the front. For larger or smaller frames we offer an 8×10 and 11×14 option in our Shooters Cut. Use our CaliberX™ Soft Armor Backers for even more protection and comfort.
Our standard plate comes coated to protect the plate from rust and the elements. One concern with any steel armor product is fragmentation containment. Some of that fragmentation is contained in the armor’s plate carrier, but there still is a risk of fragmentation that can cause life threatening injuries. This is why we HIGHLY recommend to buy your AR550 plates with our PolyShield Spall Protection. We have formulated our PolyShield coating specifically for our armor application and it reduces fragmentation by encapsulating any spall between the coating and the plate. This addition to your steel plate gives you peace of mind when wearing steel armor.
