What Is Steel Core Level 3+ AR650 Steel Core Armor?

Level 3+ AR650 Steel Core Armor, the lightest steel plates available, protects against threats from most small arms fire. Independent testing shows that the stopping power of AR650 plates with a Level III+ protection rating, although not officially recognized, exceeds that of body armor rated Level III by NIJ.

Advantages of Level III+ Steel AR650 Armor

Extremely thin yet durable, these lightweight steel plates are less bulky than ceramic armor and provide superior comfort and mobility. Level III+ AR650 Plates are also incredibly strong, and will defeat handgun rounds up to .357 Magnum and AR15 and AK47 rifle fire.

What Are the Different Cuts & Coatings for Level III+ AR650 Plates?

Our selection of AR650 steel plate body armor includes shooters cut (sometimes called swimmers cut) and Small Arms Protective Inserts (SAPI). Each plate is coated with either corrosion protection or spall protection finishing to stop rust and prevent spall.
