Frequently Asked Questions

What does NIJ certification mean for steel armor Plates?
NIJ certification confirms that Raider Plates meet the National Institute of Justice’s ballistic standards. Each plate is NIJ III certified and NIJ III+ lab tested to stop rifle rounds such as M855, M193, and 7.62×39mm.
Do Raider Plates fit standard plate carriers?
Yes. Raider Plates are available in 8"×10" and 10"×12" Shooter’s Cut sizes, designed to fit most standard plate carriers used by law enforcement, security, and civilians.
What is the difference between the Type-F and Type-III armor plates?
The Type-F is a flat armor plate that offers an affordable option. The Type-III is curved for a more comfortable fit during longer wear.
Who can legally own body armor plates?
Body armor plates are legal to own in nearly all U.S. states. The exceptions are Connecticut and New York, which restrict civilian purchases. Federal law also prohibits convicted felons from owning body armor.
Why choose steel over ceramic or polyethylene plates?
Steel plates are often thinner than ceramic or polyethylene, while remaining more affordable and capable of multi-hit protection. Ceramic and polyethylene plates are lighter, but ceramic is more fragile, and polyethylene is bulkier and more expensive.
How do steel plates handle moisture and extreme temperatures?
Steel plates remain stable under moisture and extreme temperatures, unlike ceramic or polyethylene plates that can weaken or degrade in harsh conditions. Raider Plates use a polyurea coating that prevents rust and adds extra protection against environmental wear.
