A ballistic plate can stop a round without completely eliminating the risk of injury. Simple foam, IIIA insert, ICW plate, IV Stand Alone plate, and T-GUARD: understanding the differences allows for better management of posterior trauma and the energy transmitted to the body after impact.

Soft ballistic plates are often touted for their comfort and mobility. However, when facing a rifle threat, rigidity remains a crucial factor for better impact management, limiting rearward deformation, and reducing the transmission of trauma to the body. In this article, CallOfDefense explains why rigid plates remain the preferred choice for most high-risk situations.
