Premium AR550 Steel: Manufactured from 1/4" thick, laboratory-certified AR550 ballistic-grade steel, these plates offer exceptional hardness and strength, effectively stopping higher velocity rounds such as 5.56 XM193/M855/SS109, and 7.62 M80 Ball (.308 Winchester) at velocities up to 3,100 fps.
Encapsaloc™ Spall Mitigation Coating: Each plate is available with Spartan Armor Systems' proprietary Encapsaloc™ coating, designed to effectively trap and mitigate bullet fragmentation upon impact, thereby reducing the risk of injury from spall.
Close-Quarters Combat Protection: When operating in confined spaces, side shots become more likely due to dynamic movement and lateral angles. These plates give you the confidence that comes with knowing you have full, 360-degree coverage.
Compact Sizing: Available in either 6x6” or 6x8” sizes, these side plates are designed to fit most plate carriers with side armor pounches, ensuring a secure and balanced fit.
American Durability: Made 100% in America, with a 25-year shelf life and resistance to environmental factors, these plates are built to withstand rigorous use over time. Steel plates are less susceptible to damage from drops or rough handling, ensuring consistent performance
