A4 Side Plates

For tight spaces & dynamic environments: don’t get flanked. 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 A4 6×6″ comes standard with a curved profile and the FragLock™ Base Coat: a proprietary solution that protects the plate from the elements, sustains the armor’s 20-year shelf-life, and deflects fragmentation away from the user. Upgrade to the Build-Up Coat for greater fragmentation protection. Rather than deflect, it is designed to capture fragments within the coat. Frequently Asked Questions Where do side plates go on body armor? Side plates are placed into the cummerbund. They can be placed inside of integral pouches or mounted by add-on side plate pouches.
