Plate Comparison Table

FILTERING OPTIONS

  • Plate Name | By selecting the name(s) of rifle plate products in this list you will narrow the results in the table. This is beneficial when comparing two or more plates of interest.
  • Manufacturer | See a narrowed listing specific to a plate manufacturer of interest, or if you'd like to see our private label products simply select “AE Private Label” from the drop-down.
  • Threat Level | Select the desired threat level to narrow the results within the table. For instance, if you would like to compare all level III rifle plates to one another, simply select “III” from the drop-down. Multiple levels can be selected at once.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Want to see more detailed threat testing? Specific rounds can be added to the table by clicking the “Columns” button and selecting specific rounds of interest. There are additional hidden columns available in this drop-down including additional plate size options, plate trim availability, etc.
