A2 Side Armor Plates

For tight spaces & dynamic environments: don’t get caught unprotected. Side plates mount to a plate carrier’s cummerbund side plate pouches, biased towards the front to cover even more than a standard plate setup. The A2 6×6″ comes standard with a curved profile and the FragLock™ Base Coat: a proprietary solution that protects the plate from the elements, gives it a 20-year shelf-life, and deflects fragmentation away from the user.
