Features of Extreme Impact Trauma Pads
Caliber Armor’s Extreme Impact Trauma Pads provide essential protection against back face deformation when wearing body armor. These pads are designed to absorb energy from impacts, significantly reducing the risk of blunt force trauma while enhancing comfort. Adding an extra layer of protection helps improve your safety during long-term wear.
Crafted with microcellular urethane foam, these pads are highly effective at absorbing shock. The low compression set of this foam ensures that it maintains its shape and performance even after extensive use. In addition, the high-density foam provides superior impact absorption while the flexible design ensures easy integration with different armor systems. This combination allows for maximum comfort and mobility without compromising on protection.
When paired with AR550 Level III+ Armor, the Extreme Impact Trauma Pads provide an added layer of security against high-impact forces. Despite their 1/4” thickness, these pads offer excellent protection while keeping the overall weight of your armor setup low. Furthermore, their slim profile makes them easy to incorporate into your current armor setup without sacrificing comfort.
For individuals who wear body armor for extended periods, these pads are a game-changer. They help alleviate the pressure and fatigue caused by heavy armor plates. The ripstop material finish ensures the pads’ durability, enabling them to withstand wear in tough environments.

Caliber Armor manufacturers our CaliberX™ Soft Ballistic Body Armor line of body armor inserts in our facility in Louisville, Kentucky. We have created an affordable soft armor system that meets the gold standard of 1 lb per sqft areal density.
At Caliber Armor we are always innovating and improving our armor products. During testing we found that we were able to achieve a better performing armor layup using a hybrid of both UHMWPE and Para-Aramid materials. We have fully maximized this material’s potential and made it more comfortable and lighter for the wearer. Our CaliberX™ ballistic vests offer better flexibility and comfort, greatly improving response time in a critical moment which could mean the difference between life and death.
CaliberX™ Soft Armor has 10% less weight and has 15% less back face deformation than other commercially available soft armor systems. This directly translates into less blunt force trauma to vest wearers. While 10% might not sound like much, we know that when you have all the extra gear to wear you are grateful for a lighter vest.
CaliberX™ achieves protection against high performance hand guns such as the .44 Magnum, .357 Sig, and the .9 mm using less material. CaliberX™ Soft Armor fibers absorb the energy of the bullet along the molecules of each fiber, catching it in a multi-layer web of advanced fabric. The material absorbs and disperses the energy of the impact to underlying layers in the insert that help reduce the amount of transferred energy that causes the back-face deformation which can cause blunt trauma. The final inner layers of material are able to disperse the energy and helps diminish any trauma.
Our super-lightweight CaliberX™ Soft Armor system provides consistent and uniform ballistic performance and can easily withstand multiple hits from handguns as powerful as the .44 Magnum. With unparalleled ballistic protection, lightweight comfort, superior strength, you can count on CaliberX™ inserts to help keep you safe from harm.
CaliberX™ lightweight soft armor is also great for backpacks, briefcases and larger purses. Ask us about custom sizing.

Our CaliberX™ ballistic vests offer better flexibility and comfort, greatly improving response time in a critical moment which could mean the difference between life and death.
CaliberX™ Soft Armor has 10% less weight and has 15% less back face deformation than other commercially available soft armor systems. This directly translates into less blunt force trauma to vest wearers. While 10% might not sound like much, we know that when you have all the extra gear to wear you are grateful for a lighter vest.
CaliberX™ achieves protection against high performance hand guns such as the .44 Magnum, .357 Sig, and the .9 mm using less material. CaliberX™ Soft Armor fibers absorb the energy of the bullet along the molecules of each fiber, catching it in a multi-layer web of advanced fabric. The material absorbs and disperses the energy of the impact to underlying layers in the insert that help reduce the amount of transferred energy that causes the back-face deformation which can cause blunt trauma. The final inner layers of material are able to disperse the energy and helps diminish any trauma.
Our super-lightweight CaliberX™ Soft Armor system provides consistent and uniform ballistic performance and can easily withstand multiple hits from handguns as powerful as the .44 Magnum. With unparalleled ballistic protection, lightweight comfort, superior strength, you can count on CaliberX™ inserts to help keep you safe from harm. CaliberX™ lightweight soft armor is also great for backpacks, briefcases and larger purses. Ask us about custom sizing.

Caliber Armor AV2 Alloy Body Armor Side Plates available in 6x6 and 6x8 sizes
Sold singles or in a set of two
Ergonomic curve design at no extra cost
Advanced PolyShield Anti-Spall Coating Comes Standard
Rated and tested to NIJ STD-0101.07 RF2, and special threats
Proudly made in the U.S.A
This can be seen with our bend process, our fragmentation coating and our finishing details. We are proud to be the first company to bring an advanced steel body armor plate with a true multi-curve achieved with one press. Now we have a new and improved rifle plate that can achieve the coveted NIJ-RF2 stopping power rating.
For years, the industry has been anticipating the new NIJ 0101.07 standard that finally attempts to bridge the gap between 0101.06 Level 3 and Level 4. In the current standard level 3 rating the test is six shots of 7.62 x 51mm M80 FMJ at 2,780 ft/s. From there the next level is 4, which is 30-06 M2 AP at 2880 ft/s. What about everything in-between? The body armor industry has largely adopted the term Level 3+ or Level 3++, which is up to the manufacturers interpretation but generally means that it will stop higher velocity 5.56mm rounds and AK 7.62 x 39 steel core projectiles.
The AV2 body armor plate comes standard with advanced PolyShield Anti-Spall coating. With a competitive price point, only half inch thin and side plates weighing in at just 2.6 lbs for 6x6 and 4 lbs for 6x8, the AV2 armor plate is a superior option for your bulletproof vest that will last a lifetime. No more replacing your team’s armor set ups every five years or spending extra funds on x-ray requirements during turnover. The AV2 plate will stop everything that you throw at it.
We have tried several different thicknesses, varied materials, and heat-treating processes to evaluate if we can make an alloy product that can achieve this speed so that we can certify to the new spec. After three years of testing, we have found our solution, Caliber Armor AV2. Our objectives were to exceed the ballistic requirements of the draft RF1 and RF2 and to reduce weight. We have pushed the speed on all the requirements. We have also tested other special threats like the M855 A1, and 7.62 x 54mm R. We shaved off a pound from our AR550 and kept the thinness that creates an extremely ergonomic option for our customers.
Weights for AV2 Side Plates with PolyShield Spall Protection:
6x6 - 2.4 lbs
6x8 - 3 lbs

Proudly made in the U.S.A
Introducing the Caliber Armor AV2 Ballistic Insert. We keep going above and beyond to bring you body armor of a higher caliber.
This can be seen with our bend process, our fragmentation coating and our finishing details. We are proud to be the first company to bring an advanced steel body armor plate with a true multi-curve achieved with one press. Now we have a new and improved rifle plate that can achieve the coveted NIJ-RF2 stopping power rating.
For years, the industry has been anticipating the new NIJ 0101.07 standard that finally attempts to bridge the gap between 0101.06 Level 3 and Level 4. In the current standard level 3 rating the test is six shots of 7.62 x 51mm M80 FMJ at 2,780 ft/s. From there the next level is 4, which is 30-06 M2 AP at 2880 ft/s. What about everything in-between? The body armor industry has largely adopted the term Level 3+ or Level 3++, which is up to the manufacturers interpretation but generally means that it will stop higher velocity 5.56mm rounds and AK 7.62 x 39 steel core projectiles.
The AV2 body armor plate comes standard with advanced PolyShield Anti-Spall coating. With a competitive price point, only half inch thin and weighing in at just 7.2 lbs, the AV2 armor plate is a superior option for your bulletproof vest that will last a lifetime. No more replacing your team’s armor set ups every five years or spending extra funds on x-ray requirements during turnover. The AV2 plate will stop everything that you throw at it.
Our aggressive Shooters Cut body armor plates shaves off weight while still providing enough coverage to protect your vital organs.
We have tried several different thicknesses, varied materials, and heat-treating processes to evaluate if we can make an alloy product that can achieve this speed so that we can certify to the new spec. After three years of testing, we have found our solution, Caliber Armor AV2. Our objectives were to exceed the ballistic requirements of the draft RF1 and RF2 and to reduce weight. We have pushed the speed on all the requirements. We have also tested other special threats like the M855 A1, and 7.62 x 54mm R. We shaved off a pound from our AR550 and kept the thinness that creates an extremely ergonomic option for our customers.
Weights for AV2 Plate with PolyShield Spall Protection:
10" x 12" - Shooters Cut Plate: 7.2 lbs
10" x 12" -SAPI Cut Plate: 7.75 lbs
11" x 14" - Shooters Cut Plate 8.25 lbs

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 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 aggressive Shooters Cut body armor plates shaves off weight while still providing enough coverage to protect your vital organs.
Our standard plate comes coated to protect the plate from rust and the elements. One concern with Steel Armor is fragmentation containment. Some of that fragmentation is contained in the armor’s plate carrier, but there still is a risk of lethal shrapnel. We recommend our Caliber Anti-Spall add on. We have formulated our own proprietary protective spall coating specifically for our armor application. This addition to your steel plate gives you peace of mind when wearing steel armor.
