We’ve seen it, done it, we’ve improved it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteel 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur aggressive Shooters Cut body armor plates shaves off weight while still providing enough coverage to protect your vital organs. Use our CaliberX™ Soft Armor Backers for even more protection and comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur standard AR550 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 \u003cstrong\u003eHIGHLY\u003c\/strong\u003e recommend our Caliber PolyShield Spall Protection. Caliber Armor has years of experience with specialty coatings and has formulated an anti-spall coating specifically for our armor application. This addition to your steel plate gives you peace of mind when wearing steel armor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeights for AR550 Steel Body Armor: 8\" x 10\" – 5 lb 14.8 oz with PolyShield Spall Protection\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/caliberarmor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Hard-Body-Armor-Fitting-Guide.pdf\" class=\"specs-button\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNIJ STANDARD-0101.06\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTested and verified to meet or exceed ballistic resistance as specified under NIJ Standard- 0101.06 Level III and also tested to with special threats from the new NIJ Standard- 0101.07 Rifle 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMANUFACTURING TOLERANCES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThickness dimensions are +-1\/8 in.
