About our Armor:
What types ofArmor Plate do we use?
AR500:
AR500 Armor Plate is a high hardness (HH) steel used forHigh Impact and Abrasion Resistant (AR) applications. To be effective in armor applications toperform to NIJ Level 3 standards, this plate should be in the 505-530 range onthe Brinnell Harness Scale. Level 3 is ratedfor M80 Ball at 2800 Feet per second, all AK variants and defeats Green TipM855 as well at 50 feet out of a 16 inch barrel.
AR600:
AR600 Armor Plate is an Ultra High Harness (UHH) steel usedin the most demanding of armor applications.While it is not a true NIJ rating, it achieves the level of Level 3+. What this means is that in addition toperforming at NIJ Level 3 standards, it also is Special Threat tested to the5.56 round of M193 up to 3100 feet per second.Level 3 steels to not protect against that velocity. Defeats all lower threats and special threattested for M193.
Plate CoatingOptions:
What we use: We utilize a Rhino Linings Industrial productthat is recommended and developed specifically for anti-splatter (spalling)mitigation by Rhino Linings Military Research and Development. This is a premium coating that costs 30% morethan standard truck bed liner coatings provided by others. The only other product on the market that isequal in properties is Line-X PAXCON.
Base Coat: Is a light coating of the ballistic steel toseal the armor from environmental elements.This coating provides no measurable splatter mitigating properties. Single or Double Base coats do not addsplatter mitigating properties. Theyonly make your armor heavier. You needat least ¼ inch to be effective.
Build-Up Coat: At a minimum of ¼ inch of coating is appliedto the strike face of the plate to mitigate splatter. Not all coatings or processes of applicationare created equal. The armor steelsubstraight must go through a 5 step process of Blasting, Cleaning, Etching,Priming, and Curing to achieve the proper adhesion of coating. You can see substandard build-up coatingsseparating from the armor plate in many videos after a single round. Videos of our build-up coatings perform anddo not separate. This superior coatingmethod produces the greatest splatter mitigating properties.
Plate FormingOptions:
Multi-Curve CQB:
At the forefront of AR500/AR600 forming technology, we’vecreated a “Patent Pending” protected process to achieve the greatest comfort,concealable and weight distributing steel armor plates on the market (CombatQuad-Bend). The CQB is our top of theline forming process and is modeled from Tier 1 Operator plate multi-curvaturethat is tried and true for comfort and tactical applications. This plate wears lighter than any other steelarmor on the market. The CQB can beplaced in front or rear configurations.Also produce CQB Training plates for the gym and cross training, calledCATI HIT system.
Single CurvePlates:
Since the beginning of steel armor the single curve was theindustry standard because it’s simplistic forming made it easy to produce. But the inherent problem with single curvesis they do not follow the shape of your body, as you are not shaped like a 55gallon barrel. Read (Real World vs. YouTubeMentality). As part of our “PatentPending” forming technology, we’ve created the Advanced Single Curve. This curve fits your torso, but does not havethe weight distributing properties of the upper chest curve. Without this curve it is not concealable andwill appear heavier without distributing the weight to your chest. With the introduction of the Advanced SingleCurve we are manufacturing the feel and performance of an expensive Tier 1operator plate at a fraction of the cost in ballistic steel. If it was easy then someone else would bedoing it. You will only find this comfortat CATI ARMOR. The Advanced Single Curvecan be placed in either front or rear configurations.
Flat Plates:
Primarily for budget armor purchases, flat plates tend to teeteron your spine and make your plate carrier feel ridiculously uncomfortable. You are not flat like a wall.
