Our AR550 body armor plates are made from some of the highest quality steel that is threat-tested up to level III+, while our AR550 single curve full coat plates are NIJ certified level III. The AR550 protective level is 10% greater than AR500 steel plates, and are a great choice for anyone who wants rifle rated threat protection from the most common non armor piercing rifle rounds.

We have an extensive selection of the lightest and most comfortable Level III+ and Level IV AR550 body armor packages around. Our more than 30 different plate carrier packages with steel core armor plates are available in a variety of cuts, coatings and curves that will fit virtually any body size and shape. Below are some examples of our AR550 armor packages.

AR550 Armor: Plate Carrier Packages

We carry a large assortment of AR550 plate carrier packages with armor which include AR550 single curve full coat NIJ Level III certified plates. AR550 body armor plates provide even greater protection than our AR500 armor systems. An example is our Leonidas AR550 Plate Carrier Package that comes with two AR550 Level III+ plates (NIJ level III certified) and a rugged 1000 denier constructed plate carrier loaded with features. The Leonidas plate carrier is Made in U.S.A. and fully Berry Compliant. 

Another example of Spartan’s AR550 armor is our Body Armor And Sentinel AR550 Plate Carrier Package, which includes shooter’s cut front and back AR550 base coated steel plates and two 6” x 6” side plates. The bottom loading carrier is made with tough, 1,000 denier nylon, and includes a removable cummerbund that has side plate pockets, an emergency drag handle and anti-slip shoulder padding.

In addition to AR550 plate carriers and AR550 body armor, we have an extensive collection of tactical gear that includes everything from backpacks and plate carrier hangers to first aid kits and ballistic shields. Regardless of what you’re looking for to complete your protective gear package, you’re sure to find it at Spartan Armor Systems™.
