BUILT TO STOP THREATS. TRUSTED TO PERFORM.
Travis Ratcliffe
Level 4 Side Armor Plate
Ordered a lot of things from Ace Link Armor and everything I have received was top quality and will continue to support this company and have others support them as well.
Jason S.
Level 4 Side Armor Plate
Great deal for the BOGO plate sale. Fast shipping. The carrier is good quality. Hopefully I never have to see how well the plates do their job firsthand.
Donald Wistrom
Level 4 Side Armor Plate
Plates arrived timely and packed with care. Vinyl bag with foam and bubble wrap inside, packed in the box with more packaging material. FedEx threw the box onto bricks but plates had no damage. Plates feel and look very quality. Would buy more.
Nicholas Joyce
Level 4 Side Armor Plate
Great company. I have bought many items from them and they are all top notch and the best materials are used in the making of their items.
Rodney H.
Level 4 Side Armor Plate
Side plates fit very well and take up a lot of gaps between front plate and rear plate. One little drawback is it takes a Face Link to create side plate carriers but many others out there will work; my choice was using 511's side plate carrier pouches.
John M.
Level 4 Side Armor Plate
These side plates shipped relatively quick. They came packaged in ample protection, no damage. I like the cover that comes on the plate too. They're a little thick but not as thick as some I've seen. They fit my plate bag snuggly and have a contour that hugs me when I wear them. They're relatively light weight and they offer level IV protection. One side benefit is that Ace Link partnered with Zip so I could buy now and pay installments, which is nice. With any luck I won't have to come back to write another review on how they saved my life, but if they did, I would. Overall these were a solid purchase, I'm very pleased.
