AR550 III+ Steel Body Armor Plates
Manufactured from abrasion-resistant AR550 ballistic steel, these 8" × 10" Shooter's Cut plates provide dependable rifle-rated protection while maintaining a comfortable multi-curve profile.
Caliber Armor's proprietary single-press manufacturing process creates a true ergonomic multi-curve design without introducing the additional stress associated with multiple bending operations.
Each plate is engineered to provide multiple-hit capability while remaining thin and comfortable enough for extended wear.
Optional PolyShield Anti-Spall Protection
For additional fragmentation mitigation, the AR550 III+ plates can be equipped with Caliber Armor's PolyShield Anti-Spall Coating.
This proprietary coating is specifically formulated for steel body armor applications and helps reduce fragmentation generated during ballistic impacts.
Designed for Comfort and Mobility
The included 8" × 10" Shooter's Cut plates reduce unnecessary weight while maintaining coverage over vital areas.
Combined with the ergonomic multi-curve profile and adjustable VISM Expert Carrier, this package delivers a comfortable fit for training sessions, range use, and extended wear.
For additional comfort and protection, these plates are also compatible with CaliberX™ Soft Armor Backers.
Made in the USA
The AR550 III+ steel body armor plates included in this package are proudly manufactured in Louisville, Kentucky, using premium ballistic steel and rigorous quality standards to deliver dependable protection and long-lasting durability.
NIJ Tested Performance
The included AR550 III+ steel body armor plates are tested to meet or exceed the ballistic resistance requirements of NIJ Standard 0101.06 Level III and have also been tested against special threats identified under NIJ Standard 0101.07 RF2, including M855.
