The AR500 Armor Level IIIA LW (Steel) 10" x 12" Plate is made with rugged ballistic grade steel core and coated with spall and fragmentation protective coating. The ballistic steel plate is a leader in the industry and is formulated and treated specifically for improved consistency, durability, and is then tested to NIJ standards. The ballistic plate core is stress fracture resistant, and our IIIA rated lightweight model features an ultra-thin profile of only .20-in, and is designed to handle extreme abuse in day to day use, training, and less than ideal storage conditions. AR500 Armor body armor will outlast alternative armor solutions such as Ceramic, Dyneema, UHMWPE, and raw/uncoated steel trauma plates.
