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.
Great Video on youtube testing these plates. They were proof against everything but old Dutch Nato .308 AP rounds (which will penetrate more than the 30-06 rounds). Since you are not likely to ever see those, they are a great plate at a really good price.
