WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SINGLE CURVE AND MULTI CURVE BODY ARMOR PLATES?

Improved comfort and fit is a distinguishing factor between single and multi-curve designs. The more comfortable the armor is to wear, the more likely it is to be worn. Multi-curve models are designed to fit more ergonomically and anatomically when positioned against the human torso. This translates into an improved range of motion and longer wearability in the field.

WHICH PLATE SHAPE AND CURVATURE IS RIGHT FOR ME?

Generally, plate shape is a matter of personal preference or a choice made at law enforcement or other department levels. Shooter Cuts with more severe shoulder angles offer an increased range of motion. SAPI Cuts with slightly less severe angles are a military cut now available for law enforcement and other use. Some users prefer Full Cut with no shoulder cut-off angles for use as a backplate.

WHAT CARRIER WILL FIT MY PLATES?

All our plates are made in industry standard shapes for SAPI and Shooter sizes. Most carriers will fit our plates using the proper corresponding size. Thickness of the specific plate model tends to be most characterizing factor for some carriers intended for lower visibility options. Example: low profile carriers may only fit our “low vis” or special threat models.
