Level 4 Body Armor Plate Carrier Compatibility
As a 10″x12″ single-curve, hard armor plate, the RMA 1155SC will fit into a majority of plate carriers. So, here are some of the best plate carriers that we recommend with model 1155SC body armor:
Do I Need Level 4 Plates?
The basic rule of thumb is that body armor is typically deployed for the highest common threat that the user may encounter.
For example, police officers most often don’t wear level 3 or 4 plates for everyday duty. Their bulk, weight, smaller coverage area, and also inability to stop more total rounds from handguns makes soft IIIA armor vests ideal. Since the vast majority of ballistic threats faced by police are from handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP, rifle plates would get in the way of everyday tasks and fatigue an officer’s muscular and cardiovascular systems more quickly than soft IIIA armor while providing no additional protection from the vast majority of ordinary ballistic threats.
Purchasing body armor isn’t just about buying the highest number you can. It’s about tailoring the minimum amount of bulk and also weight necessary to the application at hand. Surviving a hail of bullets doesn’t come down to the ability to absorb them until your attacker runs out of ammunition; it comes down to ending or exiting the fight. Therefore, your armor system should compliment that strategy.

Got these plates recommended to me by a friend, and I’ve been liking them. There’s videos of these plates stopping 338 Lapua rounds on the internet (whether or not you survive that is another question, but the fact that it stopped them at all is impressive in my eyes). The only gripe I have with them is the weight. They’re a bit heavy. They weigh about the same as a set of steel plates. However, with the amount of protection they can potentially provide I can accept the trade off. I pray that I’ll never have to use these for their intended purposes, but I’m confident that they’ll protect me if I do

I ordered two of these to prepare for some intensive training for military purposes and they are amazing. Super comfortable, lightweight(for a 170lbs lifter) 10/10
Tristan M. (verified owner) –
A little heavier than I was expecting but fits my jpc2.0 very well. The only notable thing being there is about an inch of space at the top of the front and back of the plate carrier since the plate itself is not as tall as the plate carrier but with adjustment it can fit just fine. Regardless I highly recommend for the price and quality
kns0351 (verified owner) –
My first set of plates as a civilian. I took my chances on 8 lb. plates, but truthfully they don’t feel as heavy as they sound and are actually pretty comfortable. I have a M-L size USMC SPC and the plates fit in nice and snug. I’ll be a returning customer in the future.

John L. (verified owner) –
Had this armor for about 3 months now. Seems to be doing the job well. It’s comfortable and fits very well in my carrier. I think these plates weigh less than 8.4lbs, they feel very acceptably light, and I have worn them all day on a few occasions. The foam pad seems to be edge to edge. As well as these plates showing edge to edge strike face during teardowns. The biggest pro is deffinitely cost. With ceramic plates outpacing steel in terms of affordibility there is little excuse to not have either uhmwpe or ceramic plates now. Only con so far is the jacket material of the plates is fairly thin and dosent seem to be resined or glued to the strike face. But it seem that may be because they are aimed at lighter use and cost saving. All in all highly reccomend.

I bought this since I needed to upgrade from the level 3 armor steel armor I had from AR500. I like this so much better, it feels a lot more durable, and its perfect for when I’m just rucking around in the backfield or when I use it at the range.
Would recommend it to other friends.
Charles E. (verified owner) –
The whole process was super easy, from shopping, ordering, to delivery. Definitely an upgrade from the old AR500 plates I have. I have not yet had my plates vibe checked by anyone, so I cannot attest to the stopping ability, comfort, or multi-hit capabilities. Fit well, wrapped well. Would recommend, and are much cheaper then Hesco.

Well, it luckily hasn’t had its NIJ rating put to the test while I’ve worn it… but what I can attest to is the weight. very comfortable, Level IV at just over 8lbs is pretty great considering its sub $150 price-point.

The armor itself seems great. High quality materials, and put together well. Fortunately I don’t have any first hand experience “testing” it out. The customer service is what I do have experience with and they are excellent. I experienced a weird glitch when ordering, in which the system accidentally placed 2 orders and when I called to try to cancel 1 there was no record of my purchase at all. The person I spoke with stayed on the phone for about a half hour trying to figure out what went wrong. The charges were still processing through PayPal so we decided to wait and see what would happen, but they promised to make it right. The issue resolved itself the next day (likely an error with PayPal) but the rep I talked to even gave me their direct email in case we needed to resolve it in their system. Overall, great experience.

Van (verified owner) –
I bought this coming from steel. I originally bought the steel to train in, reasoning that the additional weight would be a training aid (it is, but also increases the chances of injury, and provides a great advantage to any would-be assailants). To me, this set of plates feels like a feather. I wore it all day at an outdoor range and was not half as fatigued as with the steel. Great buy for level 4!

Fits my plate carrier like a glove. Plates look and feel very tough. They don’t feel overly heavy (at least to me!) Hope I never have to use them but it’s nice to know that I have these for “just in case”.

Excellent product, my only complaint and its not really even a complaint is the plates are a lil bit on the heavy side but still way better than anything on the market at that price point. They fit perfectly in the shellback carrier and the company had mine on a truck and at my door in less than a week. You can’t ask for a better company especially with the way things are in the industry right now

I’m extremely happy with the quality and shipping time of this product. I was honestly expecting a 3 or 6 month wait like the other armor companies, from what I read on their reviews and I was surprised to receive it in only two weeks. Nuts. I ordered trauma pads from spartan armor and they took 2 months for trauma pads. I wish RMA would consider making trauma pads too. Again I can stress this enough, these ceramic plates are top of the line. A little heavier than what I wore in the Marine Corps but not by much. I was happy to see these get reviewed on YouTube and the torture tests are pretty amazing. They took multiple 30-06 impacts and even withstood some kind of AP tungsten round. It was nuts I suggest looking at those videos if you’re not convinced by this review. Look for the video it should be entertaining and the result speed for themselves. Thank you RMA. Semper Fi.
James Reed (verified owner) –
When checking into armor most companies were experiencing long lead times. RMA guaranteed next day shipping after receiving your order and were absolutely true to their word. The plates look very nice and hopefully I’ll never have to use them…But I’m thankful I have them. 😉

This is some of the best Armor I have got plus it’s a lot more affordable price than any other company. The fact that they keep armor in stock and ship within 24 hours is a huge plus also. This is hands down the best Armor company I have had the pleasure of dealing with. American made products. I was very happy with the Armor and the quickness of how soon I received my armor.
jason-7601 (verified owner) –
These plates seem legit. Not as heavy as I thought they would be, but not cheap feeling either. I did x-ray my plate and there are no defects in the ceramic – I didn’t expect there to be any. Shipping was fast too. Would buy from again.

Not just good plates..The Best Plates! Watch the videos, read the other reviews, this is hands down one of the strongest level 4 plates money can buy. The only con I can think of is it’s a bit heavier than some other ceramic/PE plates, but being so affordable I still give it 5 stars. Don’t hesitate to purchase.

Been doing a lot of research, reading reviews and watching videos to see that RMA has a good product, so I ordered one plate to check for fitment for my wife and it fit well. I placed an order for the second plate a few days later. Not only was it the reviews and the price that made my mind up, but that they shipped out next day. No BS lead time crap like many. I don’t need or want to wait 8 to 14 weeks for an item to ship when it’s in stock. Thanks RMA, I will refer those looking!

For the money you can’t beat it. It Performs to expectancy the cuts great especially for us bigger guys it is a bit. heavy. But for the money. I wouldn’t complain. However The plate carrier that you have is A big deal because how you carry the weight. I carry the safe life defense tactical vest for $185 And paired with RMA plates it’s very comfortable especially for long application use !

Ordered 2 plates at different times. Excellent customer service and extremely fast shipping. My 2nd order shipped the same day!

Solid well engineered armor that will stand up to some of the most common threats out there with multiple hits. I did a ton of research before settling on these plates and was blown away. They’re not just “good for the price”. from the dozens of videos I’ve watched, these give you all the bang for your buck you’ll need. I trust them fully to save my life and mitigate injury in the event that they ever need to be utilized.

The RMA team has been busting their butts in this unprecedented time. The demand for body armor is massive and they still managed to communicate in a clear and timely manor throughout my ordering process. The plates arrived on the planned arrival date. Very impressive e considering the stress they’re no doubt feeling. Thank you all so much for keeping up the work!!! God Bless!!

I did a ton of research before buying my armor from RMA. I watched a ton of videos testing different manufacturers armor and by far RMA passed and surpassed everyone’s torture tests. The price is good, quality is good, they are made in America which is great, and their warranty is the best in the market. I hope I never have to test out the product personally but I feel better knowing that if it ever does get tested ill be well taken care of.

The 1155s are exactly as they are advertised. Cheap LVL IV plates. No more, no less. There are no surprises here—the price you pay for the lack of expense is in the weight of the plates, and that they’re single curve. As long as you’re cognizant of those facts, you won’t be disappointed at all. Comfortable wearing plates, so long as they are riding in a quality carrier. RMA as a company treated me more than fairly. Responsive customer service, and they worked hard to ship ASAP, even in the midst of the biggest armament demand/shortage in recent memory. Would recommend to a friend on a budget, or for secondary/tertiary equipment.

Kenneth Thomas (verified owner) –
Do not let the price of this armor confuse or deter you. Watch the independent YouTube testing of these, and along with this review, just buy them. They are well built and the finishing touch of a very thin yet strong fabric outer shell allows these to slide like warm butter into your carrier. Yes they are thick, but for $135 per plate you can deal with thick plates. Ditch your steel and get these, then buy a backup set because they are that inexpensive but not CHEAP. Two is one and one is none. High value, low budget.

These plates are awesome.. I’m always looking for (best bang for buck) quality products with a decent price tag. These plates fit the bill… I was not expecting the quality I received the plates were by far nicer than any other plates I’ve owned.. they smoke my old esapi plates.. the weight is light enough and they are more balanced than other plates. I would not hesitate to buy a set if your looking at this review.. as a matter of fact I’ll prolly buy another set soon.. just to keep in an extra carrier I have laying around…. trust these guys and gals cause I sure do….. with my life. The only regret I may have is not buying the more expensive tripple curve version of this plate, but like I said best bang for buck nothing on the market can come close to these level 4 plates.. if your considering a set of these stop looking and just buy these you will not regret it! And for the guys rocking steel plates (I used to. never again) there is no excuse now. Now that RMA has these plates so affordable youd be an idiot to wear steel plates now. In bugs bunny’s words “what a maroon” Use your steel as targets after your new rma plates come in the mail… lead time wasnt that bad because they warn you in advance..it was on the short end of what they said it would be… i wasnt upset.. i was happy.. i knew my plates were brand new and hadn’t been sitting around for 3 years…. all I can say is thanks rma you got me for life..Keep up the good work!

Delays are excused for quality control but plate arrived with outer fabric damage. That’s said, I have made another purchase and continue with RMA. The prices are decent, especially for level iv. The tests on YouTube seem favorable. It’s certified. Without actually getting shot, I can’t judge anymore about the plate. As far as size and weight, it fits in lower end carriers snug so it should fit in real ones perfectly. It’s an economy plate so don’t expect featherweight.

There plates are great. Quality craftsmanship, and extremely fast shipping. There was a 6-8 week lead when I ordered, they were at my door in 9 days. I will be buying more in the future.

Bought 2 plates at separate times. Very happy with the shipping time on both of them, they fit perfectly in my condor vest. Wearing it will make you feel invincible honestly.
Only downside is the weight. But that means it’s time to hit the gym

Great plates. They fit ok in a large size plateMINUS carrier with some down on the bottom to adjust for height.

I’m happy with my purchase and the quality of the level IV rated 1155 plates that I received. I trust these American Made plates over import plates that I see being sold for less money elsewhere. With the recent unrest having a plate carrier in the closet ready to go is a much wiser investment now than it was just a few short weeks ago. Thanks RMA will recommend your product to everyone that asks!

Good price on these plates. Seem a little heavy and thick but for the price that’s acceptable. Fit into the LBT plate carrier I have no problem. Hopefully will never have to see how they work.

Made well. I’m 5’10, average build and the plates are more than sufficient regarding vital coverage (I would wear either a medium or a large IOTV). Can’t comment on their designed function, but there are quite a few videos out there of this model # surviving multiple, as in 6 to 7 impacts from both 30.06 and 7.62×5- AP rounds without penetration. The ceramic runs right up to the edge of these plates unlike some others’ products youtubers have scrutinized. Lastly, that lead time published on the webpage didn’t apply in my case. Got mine in 4 days. They seem maybe a tad on the heavy side, but I think I’m just getting older and I still have no problem wearing them all day or going from prone to standing. Plus, given how they perform- I’d rather take an extra pound or 2 instead of a new hole in my chest.
