🛡️ Scipio AR600 Side Plates – Stronger, Lighter, Smarter

When you need side protection that goes beyond traditional AR500, the Scipio AR600 Side Plates provide the edge. Crafted from proprietary AR600 steel, these plates are fully hardened throughout, not just surface-treated.

Because they’re stand-alone NIJ-compliant plates, you don’t need additional soft armor backing. Each plate is tested to stop 5.56 M855 ball, M193 55-grain FMJ, and even 30-06 165-grain copper tip rounds at high velocity. As a result, you gain uncompromising protection in a compact package that won’t weigh down your loadout.

Whether you’re running a full rig for patrol or adding side coverage to a slick setup, the Scipio AR600 plates ensure mobility, reliability, and also mission-ready toughness. Moreover, with their laser-cut precision and also multi-hit capability, you’ll have confidence that your gear is ready for the fight.
