That must be their new model they're offering. The no frills, no above and beyond the NIJ standard protection. Is it #1145? It's new enough that it probably has only passed their internal testing, and is waiting for the NIJ certification to be completed? Keep in mind a lot of places only state their plates are compliant, and won't show up on the official NIJ list, like a certified plate will. I've tested their #1189 and it's no joke of a plate. I'd have no worries about buying their #1145 plate..

That's a great deal. I got some UHWMPE 2lb level 3 last year for $75 each otherwise I'd be all over that.
Are they ICW? link? |

7.6 pounds, just a tad lighter than ar500 steel. 25% lighter than the AR500 I had. That's significant. I like my 2.5lb LIII plates better 
I'm gonna buy these ceramics if they test well. |

Have you received the plates? How do they look? The sale is still going on and I'm on the fence.

M855A1, Super Fast M193, and M2AP interest me. Being ceramics, I'm quite sure it will stop all of those. Only the M80A1 and M2AP loaded from a 300 WM are likely to have a chance at penetration. Even better, run that M80A1 from a .300 Ultra Mag. |

So if I were to buy the plates in OP they'll stop damn near anything including 855a1? Seems very very inexpensive |

Yes. RMA makes good plates. These are on the heavy side for ceramics but that's probably what's keeping the cost down.
If you look at M855A1 tests on YouTube you will see it fails on the level III+ ceramics it's shot against. Given this is designed to be a level iv plate I think it will stop M855A1 without issue. |

It's also not certified. So who knows. Once their certification comes through I'll be interested. Till then we need to test them with common threats imo |

I wish I could score like that, because the more I have for testing the better :) American Reloading was selling just the projectiles awhile back (with m80A1 too) and it lasted about 5 days before it was all sold, and or pulled for sale.. |
