All of our armor plates in this category as Made in the USA from our high-quality global sources able to meet our rigorous specifications. Not every company in every country can match our requirement for high purity alumina ceramic and other materials. But, we have been at this a long time and have well-established, high quality sources for raw materials.
We use American made ovens, tooling, heat and vacuum devices... along with 100% American, proprietary adhesives.

Most of our GTS plates are assembled in Emerald Isle, North Carolina - USA. We combine advanced adhesives, trauma reducing layers and high-performance strike face layering to obtain ceramic particle control and maximize multi-hit performance.
Crack Arrestor Plate (CAP):
CAPs are strike face coverings made from composite and thermoplastics that reduce damage to surrounding ceramics. CAPs also limit the amount of ceramic particulate ejected into the air when struck with projectiles. The net effects of using CAPs are increased multi-hit capability. For more information, please click Crack Arrestor Plate Technology.
Models with CAP feature: 9049. Option on 6910.
Trauma Reducer Option: Some of our plates are equipped with a Trauma Reducer option. A Trauma Reducer can reduce backface deformation by 30% or more. For more information, please click Trauma Reducer Technology.
Models with Trauma Reducer Option: Models 6910, 9049.
We are focused on maximizing multiple hit performance, reducing trauma and reducing ceramic particulate that is ejected from the strike face during projectile impact.
ALL of our ceramic armor plates are multi-hit capable. This varies with shot placement.
Prices are subject to change at any time.
In addition, all sales are in compliance with and customer acknowledgement of our LEGAL NOTICE. Please wear your armor in compliance with the ballistic label included on your product. DO NOT test your armor by intentionally wearing it during ballistic testing.
