Frequently Asked Questions

What is the RTS Tactical steel body armor deal?

The RTS Tactical deal includes a plate carrier, two Level III steel plates, Blackhawk gloves, knee pads, and elbow pads. It's priced at $150, but with the coupon code '704bundle20', it drops to $130 shipped, offering exceptional value for a complete ballistic protection setup.

How does RTS Tactical steel body armor perform against rifle rounds?

The steel plates tested demonstrated significant resilience, stopping multiple .223/5.56 and .308 rounds without penetration. While the rhino lining offers some spall protection, spalling was still observed, indicating the need for additional mitigation like a plate carrier.

What are the pros and cons of steel body armor?

Is the RTS Tactical body armor deal worth the price?

Yes, the RTS Tactical deal is considered an excellent value. The instructor estimates the plate carrier alone is worth $80-$100, the plates $150, and the accessories $40, making the $130 package a significant bargain for quality tactical gear.
