Q&A

Is this capable of stopping 55gr and 62gr green tip 5.56mm ammunition at point blank range? Considering it for my school backpack but its pointless if it wont stop the most common over the counter 5.56mm loads. Or will it do so with use of a 3A backing?
We are trying to get this info from AR500. We believe this will fork for your needs but we have yet to hear back from them .
What is the difference between the PAK basecoat and the Linex buildup? The description does not say anything about the PAK basecoat at all.
This is what the manufacturer says about it: "With our Build-Up coat applied, our level III body armor is capable of containing rated rounds on impact, substantially mitigating fragmentation and spall. Significantly improving safety from bullet fragments. Our PAXCON coating is specifically engineered for ballistic applications with increased elasticity and tensile strength and is proprietarily applied for adequate coverage throughout the front, back, and edges of the armor."
Will this fit in the Vertx EDC COMMUTER SLING? Thanks.
Yes it will fit.
What pack is pictured behind the plate?
That would be the AR500 Go Pack located here - http://www.lapolicegear.com/ar500-armor-go-pack.html
