AR500 Armor 6x8 Blunt Force Trauma Pad (NON-BALLISTIC) Generation II – Side Pad Cut

The Generation II Trauma pads are now available in AR500 6x8 Side Plate Cut! Featuring an Improved Rip-stop Cover, Ultrasonic Welded Seal, and, Improved Core for enhanced performance.

AR500 Armor Trauma Pads utilize slim and Ultralight non-Newtonian layers and padding to decrease blunt force trauma on impact by decreasing back face deformation by both disbursing and absorbing energy over the increased surface area of the trauma pad.

Back face deformation occurs when a round impacts body armor. This results in felt energy transfer through the body armor to whatever is behind it. While AR500 Armor Hard Body Armor has inherently good energy disbursing properties throughout the strike face; AR500 Blunt Force Trauma Pads will further mitigate energy transfer. By decreasing back face deformation and absorbing energy AR500 Trauma Pads mitigate the transfer of energy through the Body Armor and the Trauma Pad resulting in less felt energy.

The AR500 Armor® Trauma Pad is designed to be worn in conjunction with AR500 Level III Hard and Level IIIA Hybrid Soft Body Armor (behind the armor and closest towards your body). The non-Newtonian portion of AR500 Blunt Force Trauma Pad instantly hardens upon impact, decreasing back face deformation and energy transfer. Built-in padding behind AR500 non-Newtonian layers improve comfort and have allowed us to create an ultralight and slim Blunt Force Trauma Pad.
