Yes.
This allows you to choose different plates for the front and the back, as well as order multiple plates from the setting screen.
The SA4S™ offers the highest possible body armor protection level while simultaneously being the lightest in its class.
By measuring your chest circumference.
With standard sizes (S, M, L, XL), it is made to cover your lethal zones on the torso (heart, lungs, kidneys) without extending further due to weight. To make the correct choice, you can use the Size Chart in the Tech Specs or the Determine Size at the settings screen on the top of the page.
Armor plates are tested under the NIJ standard to withstand up to 6 consecutive hits. While that number can be greater, we can’t guarantee that result.
It is not recommended.
You may continue operations with a damaged armor plate due to composite materials that, when damaged, only a tight zone of the armor fails. Undamaged zones still offer ballistic protection. However, you will need to replace the armor plate after the mission as further use is prohibited.
Yes.
As well as any armor plate, the SA4S™ has some backface deformation. You can always use the EVV™ Exchangeable Vest Ventilation that reduces such effect to virtually zero by simultaneously improving comfort.
Officially, 5 years.
The date is calculated from the manufacturing label on the back of the plate. While good maintenance and handling can preserve the plate ballistic capabilities for longer, we will only guarantee five years from manufacturing.
Not instantly.
Due to chemical processes and oxidation occurring inside the composite material, the anti-ballistic capabilities of the armor plate will slowly deteriorate over time. After five years, we no longer guarantees the same level of protection and you should renew your plates as soon as possible.
Yes.
The UARM™ SA4S™ hard plates are ergonomically designed to fit equally good on the front and on the back.
Especially over extended missions, every pound counts. Because the SA4S is significantly lighter than the alternatives, that weight can be used for other types of gear such as ammo or med-packs, or serve to lighten the load in general and make the operator more agile and less fatigued over time.
Finally, lighter gear reduces the medical impact of carrying heavy loads on the spine and lower back, reducing the chance of chronic pain and injury.
This product has been independently tested in NIJ-accredited laboratories according to the NIJ Standard 0101.06, as well as certified laboratories according to the according to DSTU 8782:2018. against Soviet/Russian ammunition.
Four start because the plates arrived about a week after the rest of the equipment. The plates as they are show promise and they are rather light.
A great pair of plates. They say you shouldn’t wear L4 on patrol, but I don’t see why not if they are so light.
First I couldn’t believe how light they are and though we god lower-grade armor instead. These are one of the best plates I ever used, if not the best. It took them a bit to arrive, especially because we are in Baha and they were officially in LA, but customer support was good so I won’t subtract a point for that.
This is not nearly as heavy as I thought. I’m not a big guy and I can easily pack two for hours with no issue.
Fighting the urge to test my AR on this, but that will wait for the spare.
Took about 3 weeks to arrive, but these are perfect! Very light in comparison to older plates, and I did some testing on one and it works even better than advertised.
This is much lighter than my old plates, and I work near the border so not wearing them is out of the question. Blessing on my feet
