How to choose hard armor

Jak vybrat balistický plát / panel

We offer hard body armor plates for sale alone or in combination with our products: ballistic vests, plate carriers, riot sets or EOD suits.
Compatible hard body armor plates are listed for each product.

 

Basic classification of ballistic panels

ICW - In Conjunction With

ICW add-on panels must always be combined with an IIIA soft ballistic insert - we recommend always combining with our inovative ballistic inserts  certified by an accredited testing room.

 

STA - Stand Alone 

STA self-supporting panels do not need to have a soft ballistic liner underneath.

Curvature

In the standard version, we manufacture plates with a curvature that conforms to the shape of the chest, back, and other parts of the body.

For series production over 500 pieces, we offer the option of double curvature.

 

Surface modifications

The basic surface modification is a coating made of Cordura®. polyamide fabric that ensures tear resistance, specifically designed for military use. Cordura® is twice as durable as standard nylon and three times more durable than polyester.

At the customer's request, we offer an advanced PAXCON® coating from LINE-X® instead of Cordura fabric, making the panel fully waterproof and increasing its resistance to external factors. The panel's weight may increase by 5% to 25% with the coating, depending on the circumstances.

 

Why do we stay loyal to ceramics?

Aside from the fact that steel plates have a significantly higher weight, their biggest threat lies in secondary (ricochet) projectiles, which endanger not only the user but also their immediate surroundings.Ceramic-composite plates are characterized not only by their low weight, but unlike steel, they do not cause bullets to ricochet. Instead, the projectile shatters upon impact, and its energy is absorbed, enhancing safety.
