Body Armor Basics - How to Choose The Best Plates

In this video, we break down the trade-offs between cost, weight, and protection in different types of body armor. We cover the differences between soft and hard armor, explaining how soft armor is more concealable while hard armor provides rifle protection. We compare steel, ceramic, and polyethylene plates—highlighting steel as the most affordable but also the heaviest, ceramic as a balanced but fragile option, and polyethylene as the lightest choice that even floats but comes at a higher price. We also dive into NIJ protection levels, explaining Level 3, 3+, and 4 ratings, and how they perform against various threats. To put it all to the test, we conduct live fire testing on a Level 3 polyethylene plate to see how it holds up against common rifle rounds. Watch now to see the results and learn how to choose the right armor for your needs! Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss out on more Shark Coast content! Follow us on these platforms!
