Had a chance to stop by AIT the other day to take a look at the New Spall Coated plates, I really appreciate the time taken to show me the "Tested" plate with the 9 mm and .30-06 rds, comparing it to the traditional "covering material" I would rather have the New Spall Coated steel plate.
1. Controls the spall far better than traditional covering
2. Less Bulk
3. Durability
Great job AIT really like the product over what its replacing.
Damn, out of stock again. Is there a pre order list I can join for the next run?
Thanks for this. I'm in the GTA as well and was interested in checking samples out before purchase. Your 'proxy' visit will serve nicely.
Mine showed up today, one of the plates had the rough edges but the other one was pristine. I was wondering about the 5 year expiration date, is that for the spall coating?

Same reason you buy any self defence piece of equipment, example, if I owned a farm or lived in a rural area that was frequented by drunk gangs looking to tear up your gear and hurt your family, you know, where the rcmp is at least 45 minutes away, do I am the only thing between them and my family and if I go down they go down, I would want this type of kit, to help me stand a bit longer against marauders for my family!
Or could be just for $#!ts and giggles! Myself, I am in a province that banned body armour except for LE, to make communities safer!
It also may help when zombies roam the earth!
What? What does this mean???
lol.
So I saw a preorder... I jumped in... does this mean... does... maybe... I get plates soon?(I thought I was on a list for a second run... ). Hopeful. lol
As long as you submitted an order we have you on the list and will have your plates out when they are ready. SO you will get your plates as soon as they are ready.
What is the lead time for pre orders? 6 weeks to manufacture and then ship?
Order says out of stock, hoping for availability to return.
