Standard AR steel plates often use abrasion-resistant steel in the 500–550 BHN range and are typically flat or single-curve, which can add weight and reduce comfort compared to the STAR plate’s lighter, curved design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the Buffalo Armory STAR Multi-Curve plates NIJ certified?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The STAR Multi-Curve steel plates are NIJ certified and tested to NIJ Level III standards, as well as additional special threat rifle rounds like 5.56mm M855 and M193. You can review the full results in the official test report linked above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Fortis Alpha Carrier have side protection?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fortis Alpha Carrier by itself does not provide any ballistic protection. In this bundle, rifle-rated protection is provided by the two Buffalo Armory STAR Multi-Curve Level III+ plates inserted into the front and back plate pockets. Additional side plates or soft armor panels would be separate add-ons if you choose to expand your coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere do I put the rifle-rated plates?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a plate pocket at the bottom of the front and back of the carrier. Insert each STAR Multi-Curve plate behind its matching spall liner, then secure the flap so the plate rides high on the chest and back over your vital organs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I wash my vest?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outer carrier is machine washable. Remove the steel plates and spall liners first. Then wash the carrier on a gentle cycle and lay it flat to dry. Do not machine wash or dry the plates or liners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/premierbodyarmor.com\/pages\/govx-id-military-first-responder-discount\" title=\"Law Enforcement Discount\"\u003eLaw Enforcement\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \/ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/premierbodyarmor.com\/pages\/govx-id-military-first-responder-discount\" title=\"First Responder Discount\"\u003eFirst Responder\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \/ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/premierbodyarmor.com\/pages\/govx-id-military-first-responder-discount\" title=\"Military Discount\"\u003eMilitary discount\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e available\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease see \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/premierbodyarmor.com\/pages\/terms-conditions\" title=\"Link to premier body armor terms and conditions\"\u003eTERMS \u0026amp; CONDITIONS\u003c\/a\u003e for additional details regarding lead time, shipping, warranty, and return policy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Premier Body Armor","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":47380569555189,"sku":null,"price":497.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Coyote Brown","offer_id":47380569587957,"sku":null,"price":497.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ranger Green","offer_id":47380569620725,"sku":null,"price":497.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2663\/1528\/files\/starloadoutblack.png?v=1764865165"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2663\/1528\/collections\/Screen_Shot_2022-02-10_at_10.54.00_AM.png?v=1657824850","url":"https:\/\/premierbodyarmor.com\/collections\/plate-carriers%20.oembed","provider":"Premier Body Armor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
