Q2:
What is the difference between ICW hard armor plate and STA hard armor plate?
A2: ICW stands for 'in conjunction with,' meaning an ICW plate must be used alongside a bulletproof vest to achieve the required protection. Alone, it lacks the capability to provide full protection, but when paired with a IIIA ballistic vest, it offers superior defensive performance. While some fragments may penetrate the plate, the ballistic vest will effectively stop them. Consequently, many ballistic vests are designed with a large pocket in the front to accommodate the ICW plate. On the other hand, STA stands for 'stand-alone,' denoting that a STA plate can be used independently. STA plates are especially suited for tactical operations where a bulky ballistic vest is impractical. Given their need to stop bullets without any additional support, STA plates are inherently heavier and thicker than their ICW counterparts.
