Ceramic vs. Steel Plates
This video compares ceramic and steel body armor plates, highlighting their key differences. Ceramic plates are lighter (around 5 lbs for 10x12) and offer better protection with less spalling, but are more expensive. Steel plates are heavier (around 9 lbs for 10x12) and prone to spalling, but are significantly more affordable. The choice depends on budget and priority for weight versus spalling mitigation.
