- Our strongest alloy armor.
- Stops 5.56x45 M855 Green Tip at velocities up to 3,100 FPS, M193, and .308.
- Keeps going after many rounds, resists BFD and energy transfer.
- Features a durable FragLock™ coating, which gives both fragmentation redirection and seals the plate to protect its 20-year shelf life.
The A1 body armor is able to stop Level III+ threats such as 7.62x39/7.62x51/5.56 M193s, 5.56 M855 penetrators, and .223/.308 WIN rounds. And unlike ceramic or polyethylene, this custom steel alloy blend is able to take several hits from these rounds without fail. This multi-hit special threat resistance is the distinguishing quality of the A1 plate.
The plate is a shooters cut and features our FragLock™ Coat, which we apply for two reasons:
- It helps reduce the dangers of fragmentation (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.
- 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.
