The QUARD 500 design incorporates anti-ricochet properties: the material and engineering minimize the risk of ricochet from bullets typical for Class 5. An anti-fragmentation layer is installed on the front side, providing additional protection against fragmentation upon impact, and works in conjunction with the damping cover. The plate is compatible with standard body armor cover systems and damping inserts, facilitating integration into existing personal protective equipment.

After certified ballistic tests, the plate confirmed retention of all bullet types specified for Class 5, including 7.62 BZ armor-piercing incendiary rounds, making it a reliable choice for professionals. Thanks to its optimized 10 mm thickness and well-engineered metal construction, a balanced weight-to-protection ratio is achieved, which is especially important when used in compact protection systems.
