Sapi Cut Armor VS Shooters Cut Armor

The SAPI/ESAPI cut is a traditional body armor shape commonly found in military armor systems. SAPI inserts offer plates with a simple 45 degree cut around the shoulder. The Shooter’s Cut is a slightly modified version of the original SAPI plate geometry which is typically intended to be worn in the front of a ballistic armor carrier. By moving the 45-degree cuts slightly lower, the user is given a more ergonomic shape by removing more material from the upper chest and shoulder areas.
