CUT WEIGHT AND BE SAFE FROM SPALLING
Choosing 6×6″ or 6×8″ side armor allows users to tailor their setup to mission demands. The compact 6×6″ size provides focused, low-profile coverage ideal for law-enforcement applications, while the 6×8″ option offers extended protection across a wider side-torso area—beneficial for military or security personnel who need broader coverage in dynamic environments. These size options give users the flexibility to balance mobility, concealment, and protection based on operational needs.
Ace Link Armor side plates provide special-threat protection against common rifle and handgun rounds, including 5.56×45 M855. Built as a ceramic + polyethylene composite, each plate maintains a thin 0.85″ profile and fits most aftermarket 6×6″ or 6×8″ MOLLE side-plate pouches. Ceramic construction keeps weight low—typically about 30% lighter than comparable steel options—while remaining spall-free for enhanced safety and comfort.

These guys are the best, placed an order and the order was processed and shipped exactly at the time specified. No hassle no delays! And the gear is great, Quadrelease Plate carrier is in my opinion one of the best carriers out there!

I purchased my vest because I hunt and I am concerned about being safe in these troubling times. I feel safer with a quality vest like Ace Link. I took a while but I but what believe is great body armor.
