What is Armor made of?
Two general types of armor exist, soft armor which is usually flexible and made of multiple layers of Kevlar, and hard armor made for Kevlar and ceramic plates or hardened steel. Steel plates are usually made of AR500 hardened steel, and while they may protect from some rifle calibers, they are also much heavier and can spall when hit. Ceramic plates are lighter and can be shaped to a body's contours better. Our Armor is a combination of ceramic ( Silicon or boron carbide ) and UHMWPE ( ultra high molecular weight polyethylene .)What if my armor gets shot, or dropped?
Although body armor may stop a round from entering your body, you can still suffer severe trauma because of the terminal ballistics of a round hitting you. Organ damage and internal injuries can still take place. You must seek medical attention. Some plate carriers allow you to add a trauma panel behind the plate to help reduce this damage. Armor also gets drop tested during the testing and certification process.Sale of Body Armor
