LEVEL 3+ MULTI-CURVE PLATE SPECS:

QUICK SPECS

CUT WEIGHT AND BE SAFE FROM SPALLING

The carefully engineered multi-curve design serves several essential purposes. Firstly, it enhances comfort during extended wear. By mirroring the contours of the body, the plate reduces pressure points and minimizes discomfort, allowing the user to remain focused and agile even during prolonged missions.

Secondly, the multi-curve design promotes better mobility and flexibility. The plate’s streamlined shape enables a greater range of motion, ensuring that users can perform at their peak without being hindered by cumbersome armor. This is especially crucial in dynamic and fast-paced situations where quick movements and responsiveness can be a matter of life and death.

Thirdly, the ergonomic fit of the multi-curve design contributes to improved weight distribution. By evenly spreading the weight across the body, the plate reduces strain on the user, lessening fatigue and increasing overall endurance. This not only enhances the wearer’s physical capabilities but also boosts their mental focus and decision-making abilities.

Moreover, the multi-curve design enhances concealability when worn under clothing or uniforms. The plate contours to the body more discreetly, reducing the risk of printing or revealing the presence of body armor. This feature is particularly valuable for undercover operations or situations where maintaining a low profile is critical.

At only 5.50 lbs this ceramic composite plate stops multiple armor-piercing rounds and is 35% lighter then average steel plate equivalent. Body armor plates protection against the popular .223 55gr. M193; or Green Tip round like the 5.56 M855; or 7.62×39mm, has never been so light and spall-free.

FAQ

1.

How much does plate armor weigh?

Ace Link Armor Level III+ Special Threat Ceramic Body Armor Plates weighs only 4.4 lbs. each. These plates are significantly lighter and provide more comfort to wear inside plate carriers, than when compared to AR500 armor plates. We have many plates models available, make sure you choose the right one for your needs!

2.

Is it illegal to wear body armor in public?

It is legal to wear body armor plates or bulletproof body armor in public; for self-defense or emergency situations, as long as the local law enforcement agency where you are, or state law where you live results in not prohibiting a person from wearing one. It is your choice if you want to wear body armor under your clothes or suit, or if you find comfort in wearing one at a public venue.

Wearing body armor inside public places, businesses and schools is not illegal in the United States. Some states may have laws that require a license or permit to possess a bulletproof vest within its jurisdiction but it cannot regulate someone from wearing one while still on his/her private property or traveling through public spaces (airports, bus terminal, malls etc). Outside of those areas however, you can usually wear body armor without any legal restrictions or paperwork being filled out under state law.

3.

Can plate armor stop a bullet?

Not all armor plates can stop all bullets; specifically, only armor in soft or hard versions rated for a particular range of bullet calibers are able to stop those bullets from penetrating armor when fired from a barrel. Law enforcement wears body armor plates that can at least stop a bullet from their own duty weapon in case of use against themselves. For example, the standard 9mm duty pistol in the US, and bullets fired from it are typically rated to be stopped by soft body armor plates that stop most common handgun bullets from penetrating.

However hard armor plates capable of stopping rifle rounds are heavier than soft armor versions and hot, which can cause burns if not worn under certain clothing. One such type of plate might stop a bullet at point-blank range but will not stop a bullet fired at anyone wearing it from a hundred yards away. Plate type is also important when considering what projectile will penetrate the armor; for instance, many types of ammunition (particularly military surplus or special purpose) may have different performances against specific armors depending on factors like caliber size or shape (spherical, flat-nosed, semi-wadcutter), the alloy used in the bullet, and its velocity.

It should be noted that it’s common for soft armor to stop certain types of projectiles fired from handguns at greater range than they would be rated to stop them when fired from a rifle; this is because higher velocity directly relates to how deeply and quickly a projectile can penetrate an object.

4.

What do Level 3 plates and level IV body armor plates stop?

NIJ Level III Stand Alone PE body armor plates can defeat up to .308 M80 Ball Ammo rounds; with NIJ Level IV Stand Alone Ceramic plates able to stop up to Armor Piercing .30-06 APM2 rounds. The gap in-between these two levels are where the Level III+ Special Threats Plate fits in with its steel-core ammo stopping ability.

5.

What will Level 3+ armor plates stop?

Level 3+ is capable of stopping mild penetrating rounds such as M855A1 Green tip but is not rated to stop .30-06 APM2 rounds like with level IV.

6.

What are armor plates made out of?

Level 3+ plates are made out of a combination of PE and Ceramic, with an abrasion-resistant nylon outer cover that surrounds the armor. Law Enforcement officers are now up-armoring their concealable handgun rated body armor with plate carriers- in case they need rifle protection as well.

Level 3+ Ceramic Multi-curve Plate 10×12″
I saw Acelink on the Warrior Poet Society app for sale in the products section. I thought too myself, "if this stuff is on WPS Network it's gotta be good"!!! John is one of the most straight shooting guys in the industry in my opinion so I went with the armor. I got the Level 3a special threat plates because I figured I was most likely to encounter 5.56mm green tips before 7.62 AP rounds, but I guess you never know until the situation arises. I immediately ordered soft armor and side plates the next day after I did a little more DuckDuckgoing. Great company, Great customer service and most importantly a great product. Will be buying Acelink for the rest of the guys for sure.

Level 3+ Ceramic Multi-curve Plate 10×12″
My brother bought Ace Link III+ plates and a Quadrelease carrier first…and I watched some Youtube videos and then added a pair of ceramic/poly for my own. I have a LBT QRC carrier on the way, and I may add Ace Link side plates and a soft armor as a deformation block up front. I am trying to buy smart as I put this together, but I am happy with the AL purchase thus far. I have tried resizing this photo for a half hour and it is continually giving me an error, so you just get the text.

Level 3+ Ceramic Multi-curve Plate 10×12″
Purchased these plates recently . They are ceramic so they are very light compared to steel. I put them in my 5.11 tactical plate carrier and my entire setup weighs 12.5 lbs which is a lot better then standard steel weighing around 18-20lbs. I hope I never have to put them to the test but guntubers have not penetrated these with 5.56. Highly recommended :100::u1F1FA::u1F1F8::u1F1FA::u1F1F8::u1F1FA::u1F1F8:
