The Hard Rifle Plate Level IV ICW has a thickness of 18mm while the SPARTAN SAPI CUT has a thickness of 22.86mm.
They are both IV level plates but the Hard Rifle Plate Level IV ICW (the one Safe Life defense sells) claims: "In conjunction with an Level iiia or iiia+ vest our hard rifle plates protect the wearer against rifle threats up to 30-06 armor penetrating rounds." Does that mean that the Hard Rifle Plate Level IV ICW can't stop 30-06 armor penetrating rounds on its own while the SPARTAN SAPI CUT can?
Also, the Hard Rifle Plate Level IV ICW has a thickness of 3.10mm per pound while the SPARTAN SAPI CUT has a thickness of 2.93mm per pound so the Hard Rifle Plate Level IV ICW wins in terms of thickness per pound ratio and the Hard Rifle Plate Level IV ICW is about half the cost of SPARTAN SAPI CUT per plate.

When he says if you look very closely you can see the steel perpetrator at 13:49 in the video, you cant see the perpetrator but you can see the ground underneath it. Meaning, the 30-06 AP round passed through the plate completely. So how is this rated to stop it? Did it stop it with the soft armor (icw) behind the rifle plate?

[@PappaLitto]

What you're looking at is the crushed up ceramic tiles not the ground. If you look at the back of the plate, it's deformed but not penetrated

[@atcair33]

You need to update statement the "no soft body armor will stop 5.56/223" since Safe Life Defense has flexible soft body armor that is rifle rated. The FRAS body armor will stop it.

Also I tested the same vest against a .17hmr Amd .17wsm 20 grain fmj in all cases it went through front and back plates I think you IV will stop it but I’m not sure your iiia+ will.

[@medicmike4906]

Please explain at 9:20 in there is clearly a round in your ballistic dummy.

[@BuddhaKat1]

Looks more like stuff that came off the back of the vest to me. When you get hit with something with as much kinetic energy as a 12 ga. slug, any soft armor vest is still going to have damage from the hit. If you got hit by a 12 ga. with a 1oz slug, I would expect the bullet would not pass through the vest, but you would almost certainly have a massive bruise, if not broken bones.

IIIa is the highest grade of soft body armor. It will stop all "pistol-caliber" threats, but will fail to stop any "rifle-caliber" threat. If you want rifle protection, you need level III or IV hard armor plates (note that level IIIa is LESS than level III).

Most level lv plates are stand alone why is yours in conjuction with? A stand alone would be better

[@zidniafifamani2378]

By making ICW (In Conjunction With) level 4 plate they can decrease the weight and thickness required to make functional plate (most standalone level 4 plate weight 7-8 lbs and have thickness of 1 inch, while this plate weight less than 6 lbs and have thickness of 0.7 inch).
Level 4 standalone plate are great if you wearing plate carrier (which typically don't have inherited ballistic protection), but Safe Life Defense only make bullet resistant vest (their level IIIA, level IIIA+ and FRAS) so after many decision consideration they most likely decided to put their consumer first before move to anything else (hence they created level 4 icw plate for their body armor, since the one that's gonna use it will be most likely to be their consumer).
