Questions & Answers
how much protection does this give, compared to a hard plate? What carrier will this fit? Expert Answer

This is not body armor, this is a trauma pad to go behind the body armor.

Product Info for AR500 Armor Blunt Force Trauma Pad

When a bullet strikes body armor, the energy from the impact is transferred to the armor. What happens to the armor depends on the type and material. Soft armor flexes and ''catches'' the bullet, whereas hard armor can either shatter the bullet (steel alloy), dissipate the force by breaking apart (ceramic), or capture the bullet by melting around it (polyethylene).image

All AR500 Armor in standalone configurations perform very well in tests against back face deformation (BFD) and energy transfer and are designed with BFD in mind.

Helps dissipate energy transfer.

Each trauma pad is specially engineered to mitigate blunt force trauma in case your armor takes a round and reduces the amount of back face deformation that could occur, which can mitigate the risk of injury after impact.

Designed to be worn in conjunction with and behind your body armor, our Trauma Pads reduce the amount of energy transferred to your body, reducing felt energy through your armor.

Compatible with AR500 Armor body armor and most other armor systems and plate carriers.

Trauma pads are non-ballistic and offer no increase in ballistic protection.

Features of AR500 Armor Blunt Force Trauma Pad

  • Helps reduce backface deformation signature with soft armor
  • Absorbs and dissipates impact energy and ultralight
