SPECIFICATIONS Material: 500D Cordura® Nylon Supported Plate Size: 10”x12” Size: For body types M to XXL Weight: 2 lbs Features: Front and rear Velcro panels & laser-cut PALS systems Manufactured: Vietnam (AR500 Armor) AR500 Armor Veritas Modular Plate Carrier True to its name, the Veritas is as reliable a carrier as you can get thanks to its low weight and versatility. While the Testudo, this carrier’s brother product, is a heavy-duty carrier that maximizes comfort and coverage above all else, the Veritas was made with an emphasis on greater mobility, greater customization, and a lower price point; assets to make the Veritas accessible and dependable. Because nearly every component of the Veritas carrier is removable, making your loadout nimble and low-profile is just a few adjustments away. Additionally, turning a nimble loadout into a decked-out one is equally simple: This product is the main component of a modular armor system consisting of a Veritas skeletonized cummerbund, multi-caliber Kangaroo triple mag pouch, padded side-plate pouches, and Adaptive Plate Insert. The Veritas can also be equipped with our Abdominal (ABS) pouch which utilizes our steel or soft armor adding another 9.5x6 area of coverage when used in conjunction. Sometimes, you’ll be expecting to want a full loadout and be glad to wear all these features. But likely not all the time; for other situations, the coverage of just a carrier with front and back plates will be all you need. 500D Cordura® Nylon, bar-tacked at all stress points for high durability, makes up the majority of the carrier’s material. It also features a padded 3D mesh for comfort, ventilation, and customizability, including the ability to accommodate a cummerbund, side-plate pockets, and removable shoulder straps. On the carrier, there are also dual admin pockets with Hypalon® easy-to-grip pull-tabs and an upper admin pouch with elastic keepers. Front & rear Velcro® ID Panels allow you to further personalize your carrier with patches or other accessories.  Extremely adjustable, the Veritas can be made to fit from a Medium to an XXL. It is compatible with any trapezoid 10”x12” plates (square 10”x12” plates are slightly too large for the design) as well as any smaller sizes when used with an Adaptive Plate insert. SPECIFICATIONS Material: 500D Cordura® Nylon Supported Plate Size: 10”x12” Size: For body types M to XXL Weight: 2 lbs Features: Front and rear Velcro panels & laser-cut PALS systems Manufactured: Vietnam (AR500 Armor) *Note: The Veritas is designed only for 10”x12” trapezoidal plates and will not work with square plates.

Origin: Made in U.S.A - Manufactured by Spartan Armor System® in Tucson, AZ Ares Level IV Ceramic Body Armor - Set of Two Plates The Ares level IV ceramic body armor plate is our toughest and lightest level IV plate yet. With a boron carbide strike face and UHMWPE backer, the Ares is a military grade plate that has been laboratory tested and proven to defeat .30-06 M2AP armor piercing rounds. Boron carbide is one of the hardest materials known to man. However, it’s lighter than other softer ceramics such as aluminum oxide, which is used in most civilian grade body armor. The Ares is a superior level IV plate that is proudly manufactured in our Tucson, AZ facility. Lightweight Level IV Protection It’s no secret that speed, agility and stamina are critical during hostile engagements. While many level IV ceramic body armor plates weigh around 7 or 8 lbs per plate, the Ares weighs in at just 6.1 lbs per plate.  Not only does the Ares plate provide the operator with a clear weight advantage, but the boron carbide strike face easily destroys .30-06 M2 AP rounds upon impact. The lightweight UHMWPE backer catches the remaining bullet fragments preventing any penetration or secondary spall injury to the operator.  The Ares level IV ceramic body armor plate is the perfect choice for Law Enforcement, Security Contractors, Military, First Responders or even concerned civilians looking for advanced threat protection and safety. Full Edge-To-Edge ESAPI Protection Get what you're paying for with full edge-to-edge protection! The Ares provides maximum protection for vital organs in a full 9.5" x 12.5" medium ESAPI shooters cut profile. This allows for better protection to the operator in the event of near-edge impacts. The highly compatible ESAPI sizing gives the operator the freedom to choose from a wide range of plate carriers. The Ares features a traditional multicurve design for added comfort during extended duty use. Ares Product Specifications  Threat Protection: Armor Piercing Rifle Rated Up To .30-06 M2 AP.

Because of this enhancement, our AR550 level III+ body armor offers operators advanced rifle-rated threat protection and has been special threat validated in an independent NIJ credentialed laboratory. Manufactured and tested within the highest quality standards, utilizing laboratory-certified steel, our single curve, full coat AR550 plates have received NIJ Certification under NIJ 0101.06 level III specifications. For added peace of mind, every plate of armor sold by Spartan Armor Systems® is serialized allowing it to be easily tracked back to the original plate of steel it was cut from should there be any question as to its ballistic properties.     Protective Value Added    We understand the NIJ rating system can be confusing. Simply put, our AR550 body armor is certified as NIJ (National Institute of Justice) level III rated but has undergone special threat testing to achieve a level III+ rating, click here to learn more. AR550 Single Curve, Full Coat body armor plates are labeled as level III on the back of the plate as the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) does not currently have a level III+ rating. “Level III+” indicates that special threat testing was created within the body armor industry to fill the void between NIJ 0101.06 level III and NIJ level IV, specifically to account for high-velocity penetrator rounds such as M855 (aka green tips). While AR550 single curve full coat plates are certified as NIJ level III, rest assured they are made from AR550 ballistic grade steel and have been special threat tested to attain the level III+ qualification. Quite simply, the NIJ requires that we label Spartan Armor Systems® AR550 Single Curve Full Coat Plates as “Level III” even though they are capable of providing the operator with a higher degree of ballistic protection.    Battle Hardened   Our AR550 armor hits the “sweet spot” in the Brinell Hardness (BHN) range. With a core hardness of approximately 545-560 BHN, we have found that the ballistically rated variant of AR550 that we use when manufacturing our AR550 armor is perfect for defeating higher velocity threats, while not exposing the armor plate to extreme stress due to forming.   Our AR550 Level III+ armor has our GEN2 lower cut radius, it’s much harder than AR500, but not so hard that it risks incurring severe stress while undergoing the formation process.    Laser Cut to Protect Ballistic Integrity   All steel core body armor is cut and shaped after the ballistic properties have been formulated within the steel. While other steel body armor manufacturers commonly use plasma torch cutting that applies excessive heat (25,000 ˚C / 45,000 ˚F) to a wide portion of the steel plate, Spartan Armor Systems® only utilizes laser cutting in order to protect the ballistic integrity of each steel core body armor plate we manufacture. Plasma cutting also requires grinding to clean up the edges after the fact, resulting in increased heat and possible fatigue.At Spartan Armor Systems®, we maintain the highest production integrity and quality standards every step of the way for our customers because we know what is at stake.    Additional Protection: Full Coat or Base Coat Options We strongly recommend choosing our full coat option when you buy steel core body armor. Our proprietary plate coating, Encapsaloc™, is a potentially life-saving feature that captures spalling as a result of ballistic impacts on the strike face of the steel core armor plate. Do not settle for steel armor that is merely coated with generic truck bed liner spray coatings that have not been tested for ballistic efficacy. The strike face of our Spartan Armor Systems® AR550 Body Armor plates proudly bears the mark of our Spartan logo.   IMPORTANT NOTE: The base coat option only provides protection against corrosion and offers little to no fragmentation/spall mitigation. Should you choose to select base coat plates, please consider adding our Spall Containment Sleeve (sold separately) as a means of fragmentation mitigation.    Blazing The Trail of Innovation  Our AR550 Spartan Body Armor now offers operators the option of coming with the Advanced Triple Curve (ATC) feature. This is an industry FIRST! Spartan Armor Systems®™ is proud to be the LEADER in the industry when it comes to offering our customers triple-curved AR550 body armor. With higher velocity rifle threats commonly present throughout the United States, we’ve developed this AR550 armor to specifically defeat some common threats such as 5.56 x 45 XM193, 5.56 x 45 M855 /SS109, and 7.62 x 51 (.308 Winchester) at a rated velocity of 3,100 fps or less. Additionally, we’ve successfully defeated these threat profiles from Close Quarters Battle (CQB) distances…repeatedly!   Configuration: This armor comes as a pair, meaning you will receive both front and back plates.   Plate Weight (per plate):    9.5”x12.5” AR550 Shooters Cut Single Curve Full Coat = 9 lbs 5 oz.    Thickness: .25″ AR550 plus approximately .25″ coating makes this slim profile plate overall .5-.6″ in total thickness   Side Plate Weight (per plate):    6×6 approximately 2lbs 9oz (base coat), 2lbs 11oz (full coat), 6×8 approximately 3lbs 6 oz (base coat), 3lbs 12oz (full coat).    AR550 Body Armor - Shooters Cut Specs:   Made in U.S.A.

Manufactured: United States AR500 Armor Abdominal Armor Our standard plate and carrier covers vitals such as your heart and lungs but weren’t designed to cover the lower torso. That’s where this plate comes in: AR500 Armor developed the Abdominal Ballistic System (specifications below) to provide even more protection in addition to the coverage provided by the standard carrier/plate combo. The ABS attaches to the bottom of your carrier so it can move independently of the top plate. This gives you unhindered flexibility while still providing full torso coverage. Specifically, the ABS attaches the abdomen plate via our unique pouch design (sold separately), integrating into your plate carrier’s cummerbund flap or inner plate pocket. It is secured with Velcro or optional modular attachment straps, providing a natural and adjustable fit with your existing body armor. As noted above, there are two versions of this armor to choose from: The Hybrid IIIA soft armor emphasizes mobility by utilizing the latest ultra-light, thin, flexible, and high-strength materials on the market, such as Honeywell Spectra Shield®, Gold Shield®, and other ballistic fabric from respected manufacturers. At just eight ounces, it’s a burdenless addition to your setup for more coverage. On the other hand, the Level III Steel armor emphasizes protection, being able to stop 7.62x51 M80 NATO Ball (.308 Winchester) as well as 5.56mm M855/SS109 (Green Tip) at a velocity of 2,780 FPS, in accordance with NIJ 0101.06 standard. It also features the same natural curve of our full-size curved armor plates and our FragLock build-up coat for spall and fragmentation mitigation.

Spartan Armor Systems Active Shooter Kit With Level III+ AR550  Spartan Armor Systems AR550 Body Armor with Hydra Plate Carrier. This active shooter kit set up is designed to allow a quick response time and comfortable performance fit with superior Level III+ Rifle Rated Protection. Carrier includes emergency drag handle, quick cinch adjustments for the front and hook and loop adjustments on the shoulders. The Spartan Armor Active Shooter Kit is perfect for rapid response situations.  Our AR550 body armor is NIJ level III rated but has undergone special threat testing to achieve a level III+ rating. NIJ Certification applies to AR550 Shooters and Swimmers Cut Single Curve Full Coat armor plates.  Why Are Your AR550 Single Curve Full Coat Plates Labeled as Level III?  Spartan AR550 Single Curve, Full Coat body armor plates are labeled as level III on the back of the plate as the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) does not currently have a level III+ rating. Level III+ indicates special threat testing and was created by the body armor industry to fill the void between NIJ 0101.06 level III and NIJ level IV, specifically to account for high velocity penetrator rounds such as M855 (aka green tips). While Spartan AR550 single curve full coat plates are certified as NIJ level III, rest assured they are made from AR550 ballistic steel and have been special threat tested to level III+. Quite simply, the NIJ requires that we label AR550 single curve full coat plates as level III even though they are capable of higher ballistic protection.   The Hydra Plate Carrier is a highly adaptable carrier ideal for quick deployment and emergency situations such as active shooter scenarios. Easily adjustable buckles ensure a snug and comfortable fit on the sides. Ample length shoulder straps allow the Hydra plate carrier to be easily adjusted to fit a wide variety of body types. Breathable mesh is used at chest, back and shoulder contact points to allow for maximum breathability. The Hydra plate carrier is a great choice for anyone looking for a lightweight and versatile body armor configuration.

All purchases of our Spartan Armor products have current lab certificates and secondary ballistics available on request. Remember, not all body armor is created equal!  Coating Options:  Choose the Full Coat option to have the plate lined with 1/4-3/8 of our proprietary coating, Encapsaloc ™.  The result is a plate approximately 1/2-5/8” total thickness.  See our FAQ for more information about our Encapsaloc ™ process. The base coat option has an extremely thin layer of our fragmentation mitigation coating to aesthetically enhance the plates, and to provide corrosion resistance. This coating has minimal, if any, fragmentation mitigation capabilities.

It also has been independently tested in accordance with NIJ 0101.06 threat levels through Oregon Ballistics (OBL), and H.P. White Laboratories. This means it is rated to stop 7.62x51 M80 NATO Ball (.308 Winchester) at a velocity of up to 2,780 FPS, and special threat tested to stop 5.56mm M855/SS109 (Green Tip) at a velocity of 2,780 FPS. A benefit not elsewhere found in the industry, the Advanced Shooters Cut shape affords you additional room for your rifle stock, improving comfort and shooting ergonomics; this is available in right and left-handed configurations. It is also compatible with all standard plate carriers that accept SAPI or traditional Shooters Cut body armor, given there is an appropriately sized chest plate pocket. Finally, the FragLock™ Coat is a unique feature that guarantees two benefits: First, it gives a twenty-year maintenance-free shelf life - making this steel plate far outlast ceramic or polyethylene alternatives. Second, the coating mitigates the dangers of spalling (when pieces of steel fragment off) and fragmentation (when the bullet’s remains fragment off), protecting the wearer from both the direct ballistic impact and the aftermath of the impact. The Build-Up Coat features stronger protection with the tradeoff of greater weight and size, while the Base Coat is lighter and thinner with less protection.
