SAPI Plates, Ballistic Armor Plates, Ceramic Plates, Polyethylene Plates, Plate Carrier
The effectiveness of your bullet proof vest is largely dependent on your selection of body armor plates. Ballistic armor plates absorb the impact of firearm projectiles and shrapnel from explosions, providing crucial protection for your torso and vital organs. In short, you need body armor plates in order to provide the best protection possible. There are several options to choose from. One of the most common is the range of SAPI (small arms protective insert) plates. These are ceramic plates, initially developed by the US military, which can be inserted into body armor pouches. The ceramic blunts the bullet material to provide protection. Another option is the level III stand-alone polyethylene plates. These can be attached to or inserted inside any item of clothing, rendering it body armor plated. So, make sure that you make the right choice from any range of body armor plates to give yourself maximum protection.
