Body Armor - Rifle Threat 10x12"
When it comes to armor plates, there can be a lot of choices and a lot of questions to ask. Most of the time, the factors to help decide which one is best for you are, type of use, weight, warranty duration, size (both yours and the plate) and your budget. Don’t worry, we are here to help on this and can help you figure out what’s best for you. Check out our BRIEFING (FAQ’S) page for additional information on some of these questions too!

PRODUCT DETAILS
Level III+ Spartan AR550 Armor
The Spartan Armor Systems, AR550 Level III+ body armor, offers advanced rifle rated threat protection and is manufactured to the highest quality standards. The Spartan Armor AR550 Armor configured in a single curve and full coat has received NIJ Certification under NIJ 0101.06 level III specifications. With a 10% increase in core hardness, this ballistic grade steel perfectly hits the “sweet spot”. It’s much harder than AR500, but not so hard as to cause severe stress while forming! The results are plates that are lighter and stronger than a standard AR500 armor plate. Spartan Armor AR550 Level III+ armor also features a GEN2 lower cut radius. This helps reduce discomfort from the bottom corners of the plate.
Spartan AR550 Body Armor now has the option of Advanced Triple Curve (ATC). An industry FIRST! Spartan Armor Systems™ is proud to be the FIRST in the industry to commercially offer triple-curved AR550 body armor. With higher velocity rifle threats commonly present throughout the United States, Spartan Armor Systems developed the AR550 armor to specifically defeat some common threats such as 5.56 x 45 XM193, 5.56 x 45 M855 /SS109, and 7.62 x 51 (.308 Winchester) at a rated velocity of 3,100 fps or less. Additionally, Spartan Armor AR550 has successfully defeated these threat profiles from Close Quarters Battle (CQB) distances…repeatedly!

Spartan Armor has taken their Level III Body Armor to a whole NEW level! Spartan Armor Systems™ is pleased to introduce our AR550 Body Armor! With a 10% increase in ballistic core hardness! These level III+ AR550 armor defeats higher velocity threats such as XM193, M855, and M80! As with all Spartan Armor AR550 Omega Armor products, we only use the highest grade of AR550 to manufacture our armor! Remember, not all body armor is created equal!
Spartan Armor AR550 armor hits the “sweet spot” in the Brinnell Hardness (BHN) range. With a core hardness of approximately 545-560 BHN, we have found our ballistically rated variant of AR550 that we use is perfect for defeating higher velocity threats, while not exposing the armor plate to extreme stress due to forming.
