Complete Your Loadout

Be Fully Prepared

Extend Warden-Level Protection to Your Sides

The same AR600 steel core as your Warden front/back plates, cut to a 6x6 side profile for full-torso coverage.

Laser-Cut AR600 Steel Core

Precision laser-cut from American AR600 steel (600-630 BHN) and shaped on custom dies for uniform curvature -- the same process behind the Warden rifle plate's rifle-rated strength, at this 6x6 side-plate size.

Single-Hit Rated: M855 & M193

Single-hit rated at this size to defeat 5.56mm M855 Green Tip (M80 Ball) @ 2,800 fps and 5.56mm M193 @ 2,900 fps -- the same threats tested on the full-size Warden rifle plate. In-house testing also stopped .30-06 165-grain rounds.

Optional Spall Coating

Add a full spall mitigation coat to encapsulate fragmentation on impact, or keep the standard base coat for lighter-weight corrosion protection -- same coating options as the full-size Warden plate.

One Universal 6x6 Fit

Side plates use a single fixed 6x6 flat cut -- no sizing decision needed. Each order includes two plates for full left and right coverage.

Key Features

Featherweight for Steel

  • Over 1.5–2 lbs lighter per plate than most AR500 builds. Designed for extended wear without compromising protection.
     

Optional Full Spall Mitigation Coat

  • Spall Coating: Encapsulates fragmentation upon impact to dramatically lower the risk of fragmentation injury.
     

Durable

  • Made from American AR600 steel - certified steel with a Brinnell Hardness Rating of 600-630 BHN, these plates have a 20-year performance period.
  • Our armor plates are laser-cut for precision and minimal heat impact, then shaped on custom dies using computer-controlled presses for uniform curvature and reliable fit. See FAQ: How are your steel plates constructed?
