    .
    Spall is when a bullet explodes into tiny fragments when hitting a steel plate at near a perpendicular degree angle.
    It can also happen on the BACK of the plate when higher energy rounds hit or a second round hits in the same spot, sending metal spall from the plate out into your body.
    Ricochet is when pieces, or even the whole bullet deflect off a steel plate when hitting at a sharper angle.  These  soft inserts  are designed to go in your  plate pockets IN FRONT of  your steel SAPI plates to mostly eliminate spall and reduce ricochets
    and an additional pair can go behind your plates IF you aren't using soft IIIa armor behind them.
    .  They stop the bullet fragments exploding off  after hitting the steel to keep them from hitting you or your nearby buddy. Front plates are particularly dangerous because of being close to your carotid  artery.  All steel plates are prone to this problem. Our Spall Blockers are soft, flexible, very thin and the pair weigh about 5 ounces.  Made of  Kevlar (10 times stronger than steel)  and ballistic nylon. These are 4 layers, to stop spall and reduce ricochets. These need to be in a regular pocket to be in close contact with the plate to work well. Carriers using just a strap to hold your plate (such as some Condor vests) don't work as well. You can duct tape them to your plates to use in these strap type holders.  Nothing will stop all ricochets, that is why steel is not used by military or police, but these stop the majority of the problem.  (Point Blank and Second Chance add 1 layer to their steel plates and says it will stop spall).
    What you will receive is exactly what is described. They work as described when used as directed in the listing.  They ship directly from the factory.
    Here is a video of what happens without spallblockers.  Plate carrier (and your arms and throat) destroyed :
