Bought a PC and a couple of steel III+ plates.  Paid for multicurve.  Got the package today, and the plates look slightly curved down the middle, and not at all top to bottom, if that makes sense.  Label on the plate states “curved”, but they’re flatter than Taytay’s ass.  Wondering if this is how it’s supposed to be.  Pictures forthcoming.

There are curved and multi-curved, and it can vary from different makers as to how it is curved.

Thanks.  I’m aware that there’s no set standard.  My question was more directed towards AR500armor.com products, and to see if others that have bought from them got something similar or different.

They appear by what I can tell are multicurved just not as extreme as my ceramics. Could you post a couple more pics?

ETA: Like have the strike face down and pictures from the side and bottom to top.

I have a set for working out.... single curve front and standard back.

The flat one is as flat as a sheet of paper!

Pics 2 and 3 show those angles.

Looks like single curve to me. I'd double check your order and if multicurve is selected I'd call or email and see what's up.

Technically there are two bend radaii in the plate so it is multi curve. A SAPI plate on the other hand has 7 curves.

How many times we gotta say to just not buy steel plates before people listen?  Then no one would have these problems.
