ICW plates provide excellent performance-to-weight ratio when paired with soft armor, especially for extended wear.

Boron and Silicon Carbide variants offer top-tier protection, while HPPE and Aramid-based solutions are more budget-friendly but offer lower AP resistance. Always ensure compatibility with certified soft armor for full performance.
