Great website. Very reasonable prices. Most other places want more for their plates. And they are about 1 lb. lighter. I've seen some ceramic plates, that are lighter, but during the test the 2nd and 3rd hit went right through. (5.56x45, M855, 62 gr). So I am thinking steel are best at least for the front plate.
I'd be curious what plate carriers people are using. I've tried the Condor ones, and the web backing really makes a huge comfort difference.
