Unfortunately, they are made in China, GA-3 and GA-6, so similar to IIIA and III plates in the US. One of them is PE and the other ceramics + PE.Unless UHMWPE *AND* stored in super high temps, nothing in body armor, especially plates, degrades over time.
What are they? I may be interested in them

The expiration is only a manufacturer recommendation meaning they want you to buy new after five years of use but those vests should be good for life as long as you maintain them. I still have my vests from my 98 service and still fit comfortably.I have some plates which I purchased back in 2021, currently downsizing my life so I want to dispose them and they are probably expired anyway (also wanted to test if they can indeed save my life from a 5.56 shot); any ranges around Austin that could let me shoot these lovely plates?
