Choosing armor plates can prove difficult when there are so many options on the market. Some are great. Some are snake oil. Among our favorites are the HESCO 3810 Level III+ SAPI cut plates. They are the lightest-weight, highest-quality plates in their class, with a comfort-fitting multi-curve SAPI cut and finished with a highly-durable Cordura wrap and waterproof coating.

FAQ

I found steel plates online for cheaper. Why should I get these?

You get what you pay for, and in the armor market, many products are snake oil. If you want to get a budget option for an item that is designed to save your life, you can, but we think it's a terrible idea. HESCO is the most respected and tested brand in the industry, which is why out of all the hundreds of options and brands, we trust and recommend this not just to our customers but with our own lives as well. If you're looking for a less pricey option that still offers performance we can get behind, check out the HESCO L211 plate set.
