Product Info for Spartan Armor Systems AR550 Steel Core Body Armor, 6x6 and 6x8, Set Of Two
Our AR550 Level III+ armor has 10% increase in core hardness, this ballistic grade steel perfectly hits the "sweet spot". It's much harder than AR500, but not too hard to cause severe stress while forming. Choose between 6x6 or 6x8 Side Plates.
BASE COAT VS FULL COAT
Our sets of steel core body armor come standard with a base coat. Although the base coat will not contain fragments when struck, The base coat helps reduce corrosion from exposure to the elements and esthetically looks better. We can not stress enough the benefit of going with the full coat for your body armor. A full coat of Encapsaloc will mitigate fragmentation at minimal cost. With over 20 years of industrial grade coating experience in our arsenal we are confident that our Encapsaloc formula is the gold standard for fragmentation protection in tactical applications for law enforcement and civilian use.
Why Are Your AR550 Single Curve Full Coat Plates Labeled as Level III?
Spartan AR550 Single Curve, Full Coat body armor plates are labeled as level III on the back of the plate as the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) does not currently have a level III+ rating. Level III+ indicates special threat testing and was created by the body armor industry to fill the void between NIJ 0101.06 level III and NIJ level IV, specifically to account for high velocity penetrator rounds such as M855 (aka green tips). While Spartan AR550 single curve full coat plates are certified as NIJ level III, rest assured they are made from AR550 ballistic steel and have been special threat tested to level III+. Quite simply, the NIJ requires that we label AR550 single curve full coat plates as level III even though they are capable of higher ballistic protection.
NOTE: Please make sure you purchase 2 pieces if you need both front and back panels.
