“ICW” stands for “In Conjunction With”. It is used to describe a specific type of body armor plate and its intended use. When a body armor plate is labeled as ICW, it means that it is designed to be used in conjunction with a soft armor panel to get the advertised threat level.
The combination of the ICW plate and the soft armor panel provides enhanced protection against rifle threats.
The ICW configuration provides modularity and comprehensive protection against a wider range of ballistic threats. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations when using ICW plates.
