Description
RMA Trauma Pad
RMA’s 10×12 body armor trauma pad utilizes lightweight closed-cell foam that decreases back face deformation and dissipates impact energy, thereby reducing transmitted force. This insert is NON-BALLISTIC.
Not only does this insert reduce energy transfer; they also greatly increase comfort for the wearer. This insert reduces perceived blunt force impact by absorbing energy over the surface area.
Back face deformation may occur when a round impacts any type of body armor. This energy transfer will likely be felt no matter which body armor ballistic panel you choose. While most body armor has inherently good energy redistribution properties throughout the strike face, our trauma pads will further mitigate energy transfer and back face deformation hazards which your body may absorb.
Dimensions: 10″ x 12″
Trauma Pad Weight: 6.08 ounces
Thickness: .25″ Thin profile
Which Armor Is Right For Me?
TRAUMA PAD FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a Trauma Pad?
These inserts are utilized behind your body armor plate. This reduces the transfer of blunt force energy from a bullet after it strikes a body armor plate. The main goal of body armor is to defeat the round that strikes it. Then, minimizing that backface deformation. The wearer may still feel kinetic energy from the impact. Thus, some people choose to use trauma pads to further reduce the impact of the energy transfer to your body. The main goal of a this non-ballistic insert is to decrease the risk of injury to the wearer of the body armor.
Do I need to wear a trauma pad?
Not necessarily. A common misconception is that while body armor may stop a bullet, it won’t stop a bullet from doing enough damage to kill the wearer anyway. This isn’t the truth. RMA Armament builds our plates to simultaneously withstand their rated threats while deforming no more than 44mm. Extra padding can help minimize that deformation and felt impact. A trauma pad also increases comfort for the wearer. However, it isn’t necessary for your armor to function properly.

I have some steel plates I use for training only and this made the wearing of those even better. Designed to take the shock from the impact, they still enhance comfortability. Let me be clear, steel should be for targets, not armor. But if it’s all you can afford, get it. Make sure you get these trauma pads and some sort of spalling sleeves. I also have these trauma pads behind my level 4s. You cannot go wrong with them.

Seem to be quality construction. Makes plate more comfortable in carrier.

Put behind the plate, its a little snug but prevents the plate from moving around.

Didnt fit in my plate carrier with the plates, probably my plate carriers fault.

They were a little hard to fit in the Ferro FCPC V5 with the III+ plates but I made it work and the added padding made it even more comfortable.

I wear a Jpc 2.0 with the rma ceramic level iv and getting this trauma pad has added a little bit more comfort to the plate carrier, however it might not fit the best with your plate but you should be able to get it all in there. It is worth the investment especially if you believe that your plates will take multiple hits.

Hope I will never be able to evaluate the performance, but if the product is comparable to the shipping, I should be in good hands.

Pretty good stuff
Jordan (verified owner) –
Seems to be really good construction with a tight fit. Written and video reviews are good. Thankfully I don’t have any personal experience. But would recommend their products highly.
Ryker (verified owner) –
Adds a good extra amount of protection without adding a lot of weight. If you can’t afford Level III+ plates, just get Level III and these pads, and you’ll be good to go
