Why Choose AR550 Steel Body Armor?
Caliber Armor’s AR550 steel plates provide exceptional protection against high-velocity projectiles, including special threats like M855 rounds. Additionally, they are designed with comfort in mind. The ergonomic multi-curve ensures a snug, secure fit without sacrificing protection. Notably, our multi-curve press process guarantees structural integrity, reducing the strain on the plate while maintaining the same fit you expect from multi-curve ceramic plates.
Shooter's Cut & SAPI Style
Our Shooter's Cut reduces weight while maintaining sufficient coverage for vital organs, thus offering optimal mobility. On the other hand, SAPI Style plates provide a higher cut for additional protection.
Coating Options
-
PolyShield Spall Protection Coating
- Steel plates can produce dangerous fragmentation upon impact. To mitigate this risk, all of our AR550 plates come with a PolyShield Spall Protection Coating. This specially formulated coating helps contain spall and protects the wearer from harmful debris. With this additional layer, you can wear your armor with confidence.
-
Standard Coating
- Standard Coating to protect plate from the elements. This coating provides little to no protection from projectile fragmentation.
