These plates are lighter than my Hesco L210's.
Date of Manufacture:
07/2020
I'm selling because I'm trying to consolidate my kit. These are the only steel armor plates I recommend. They are actually certified by an NIJ lab unlike most of AR500 Armor's plates. Steelops also publishes the deflection vs capture angle for these plates which is unique.
Directly from their website:
"Protection: With both NIJ 0101.06 and NIJ 0108.01 Certifications for Level III and a "+" rating for special threats, our 5mm AR-600 steel changes the game in terms of what steel armor has historically been capable of. Some steel armor plates fall victim to M193 rounds particularly at velocities of 3000fps or more. Numerous Certified Ballistic Lab tests confirm that our armor stops .308 at 2750fps as well as the M855 & M193 rounds from 20" barrels at velocities exceeding 3100fps and distances as close as 10ft. A test video demonstrating M193/M855 our of a 20" barrel can be found.
Weight: Using ISO & NIJ Certified 5mm (3/16") AR-600 steel provides the lightest fully coated steel armor on the market and is 25%-35% less than other steel plates with increased stopping power over AR-500 steel. Our plates are 1(+)lbs lighter than ceramic plates of the same size, offer protection against M855 that lighter UHMWPE plates cannot achieve, and mitigate back face deformation better than Composite plates ever will. Also note that the weight listed by many other steel armor manufacturers is only that of a "base coated" plate, not the "build up coat" which comes standard on all of our armor. These are quite simply the lightest and most affordable fully coated certified Level 3(+) plates on the market."
