"Predator Armor" is a company that provides body armor and tactical gear. Their armor plates are made of steel and can be purchased in NIJ level 3 or level 3+. They offer an optional Kevlar wrapping around the plates, which helps prevent spalling, a common drawback to steel plate armor. The Kevlar adds a little less than a ¼” to the plate's thickness, while adding very little weight. However, it's important to note that their plates are not NIJ certified. Each steel plate weighs 7.5lbs, so that's 15lbs you're wearing over your shoulders. Steel armor is more for someone wanting the protection that it provides, for the off chance they might need it. A pro to steel armor, is that it does not have an expiration date. Lightweight armor plates usually have a 5-10 year shelf life. Another pro of steel armor is cost. Steel plates are far more economical. However, some users on Reddit have expressed concerns about the quality of Predator Armor's steel plates, suggesting that there are better choices for steel armor, even some NIJ certified options. It's always recommended to do thorough research before purchasing such products.
