What is the difference between ICW hard armor
plate and STA hard armor plate?
Many
people may have heard of ICW hard armor plate and STA hard armor plate from the
advertisements of many protective products. But few of them know what a ICW or
STA hard armor plate is. So, let me give a clarification for this two kinds of
plates.
ICW
is an abbreviation for “in conjunction with”, which indicates that a ICW plate
should be used in conjunction with a bulletproof vest. The required protection
effect can’t be achieved with the ICW plate used alone, and it should work with
a IIIA ballistic vest to perform its best protective capability. Some fragments
may penetrate the plate, but can be easily stopped by the ballistic vest. As we
can see, many ballistic vests are all designed with a big pocket in the front
for carrying the ICW plate. 
STA
is an abbreviation for “stand-alone”, which indicates that a STA plate can be
used alone. STA plates are usually reserved for tactical operations where the
wearing of a ballistic vest is considered too cumbersome. Without the help of a
bulletproof vest, STA plates must have a strong protective capability to stop
bullets. As a result, STA plates are always heavier and thicker than ICW
plates.
With
the rapid development of the bulletproof product industry, the product
categories and designs are becoming more and more diversified. You can choose
the suitable plates based on your actual situations and needs.
Above is all the
