As I understood it, the pads werent necessary for use with 'stand alone' plates.
However, I still see everyone sell them.
Are they necessary or functional on hard armor?
I can see it potentially on the ceramic or PE plates and the PE/ceramic hybrids... Where there is deformation of the backface...
With Steel, there is no deformation and it seems the impact/blunt force effect would transfer across the entire plate, can a trauma pad be effective there?
Or...
Explain trauma pads to me
