Description
For tight spaces & dynamic environments: don’t get flanked.
Side plates mount to a plate carrier’s cummerbund side plate pouches, biased towards the front to cover even more than a standard plate setup. The A4 6×6″ comes standard with a curved profile and the FragLock™ Base Coat: a proprietary solution that protects the plate from the elements, sustains the armor’s 20-year shelf-life, and deflects fragmentation away from the user. Upgrade to the Build-Up Coat for greater fragmentation protection. Rather than deflect, it is designed to capture fragments within the coat.
