AR500 Armor Level III+ Body Armor With Build Up Coat
The Level III+ Steel Plate (specifications below) is able to stop threats such as 7.62x39/7.62x51/5.56 M193s, 5.56 M855 penetrators, and .223/.308 WIN rounds. And unlike ceramic or polyethylene, Steel is able to take several hits from these rounds without fail. This multi-hit special threat resistance is the distinguishing quality of the Level III Plus.
The plate features our patented Advanced Shooter Cut, which improves comfort and shooting ergonomics by affording you extra room for your rifle cut. It is available in both right and left-handed versions and is compatible with all standard plate carriers that accept SAPI or traditional Shooters Cut body armor (given you have an appropriate carrier size).
The included FragLock™ Coat is a feature special to our AR500 Armor plates, which we apply for two reasons: First, it helps reduce the dangers of spalling (when broken pieces of steel come off the plate) and fragmentation (when a bullet’s remains bounce off the plate), protecting you from the aftermath of a bullet’s impact once it has been stopped. Second, the coat gives our plates a maintenance-free shelf life of twenty years, which makes this steel plate last much longer than polyethylene or ceramic alternatives. The Base Coat, which all our plates come with by default, is lighter and thinner with less protection, while the Build-Up Coat can be added for greater protection but also slightly more weight.

AR500 Armor Level III+ Lightweight ALSC Body Armor
The perfect plate if you’re looking for a low-burden and mobile protection solution from AR500 Armor. Whether you’re looking for something comfortable for long hours on duty, or something able to keep up with fast-paced action on the field, the Level III+ Lightweight ALSC (see specifications below) has you covered.
The patented Advanced Lightweight Shooters Cut, which makes the defining difference of this plate, has two main differences from a SAPI or Shooter’s cut: First, the plate tapers to the bottom as well as to the top, making a diamond-shaped design. This allows for free movement of your entire body as well as a significantly lighter overall weight. Second, the plate’s taper on the top is slightly deeper than other cuts, to allow for easier rifle shouldering and other actions. This taper is the same on both sides, making it ambidextrous.
Tested to go above and beyond NIJ Level III standards, the Level III+ ALSC defeats all pistols and most rifle ammunition, including 5.56x45 M193, 5.56x45 M855/SS109 at 3,000 FPS as well as AK-47 rounds (7.62x39) and .308 (7.62x51 M80 NATO Ball) at 2,850 FPS. Also, thanks to steel’s special properties, it is able to protect against several hits without shattering or breaking like ceramic or polyethylene would. It also provides the same protection on the edges as it does in the center, giving you true edge-to-edge coverage.
The FragLock™ Coating, available in both Base Coat and Build-Up Coat versions, is a feature of AR500 Armor plates that protects both the user and the plate itself. It protects the user by helping either capture or deflect fragmentation (a bullet’s fragments after impact) and spalling (the armor’s fragments after impact). The Build-Up Coat is a thicker seal which does this better than the Base Coat, although both do it to a degree. The FragLock™ also protects the plate by sealing it from the elements, which could otherwise corrode the plate. With either version of the FragLock™ Coating, this plate has a shelf life of twenty years and requires no maintenance.

Spartan Armor Systems Swimmer'S Cut Trauma Pad Set Of Two - 10X12

$78.61
TRAUMA PAD SET OF TWO - SWIMMERS CUT 10"X12"
Product Overview
Spartan Armor Systems® Non-Ballistic Trauma Pads utilize extremely light micro-cellular urethane foam padding that significantly decreases backface deformation and dissipates the impact energy sustained on your plate armor, reducing the transmitted force to the operator’s body. Additionally, our trauma pads dramatically increase comfort and ergonomics while wearing body armor. Simply put, the Spartan Armor Systems® Trauma Pad will drastically reduce blunt force trauma by absorbing energy over the increased surface area of the pad.
Increasing Comfort While Decreasing Trauma
Backface deformation has the potential to occur when a round impacts any type of body armor. This energy transfer has the potential to be felt regardless of which advanced Spartan Armor Systems® body armor ballistic panel you decide to protect yourself with. In minor cases, the result is bruising around the area of impact. However, in more severe cases backface deformation can result in serious bruising, skin puncture, internal bleeding, and even broken bones. Though most of our body armor has inherently good energy disbursing properties throughout the strike face, our advanced Trauma Pads will further mitigate energy transfer and back face deformation hazards which your body may absorb. The added benefit of the sleek and thin .25” Trauma Pad is increased comfort and mobility, as the pad itself serves as a cushion between body armor plates and the operator. Spartan Armor Systems® Trauma Pads are constructed utilizing highly durable and comfortable Nylon Ripstop fabric, the same material BDUs are made from. We recommend the use of trauma pads with all body armor, especially ceramic body armor which is more prone to backface deformation.
