I have the shoulder straps adjusted as close as possible and the rear plate still sits low. Overall it is good construction backed by a lifetime warranty. Too bad it is not made in small to x-large.

War Servent Except they're not. AP .30-06 zips along at 2700 FPS, which is a fair bit slower than 5.56's 3070 fps, but not enough to truly matter when it comes to armor. And you might be mistaken on the threat ratings you talk about. Level III may stop some 5.56 rounds (for example it will not always stop M193, but it will, ironically, stop M855 penetrators.) But level IV armor will pretty readily stop all current loadings of 5.56, with the possible exception of M855A1.

I much prefer ceramic/ composite plates. I have both. The only upside to AR500 armor is its not as fragile, and can withstand many more hits.. However Ceramic/ composite places nowadays are not as fragile as people think and will hold up to anything any civilian would do with them. AR500 is also much thinner, however there are quite a few composite armor plates than are much thinner than the old SAPI plates nowadays. The biggest plus with the Composite plates for me was the comfort. They are MUCH lighter, and and much more comfortable to wear. Also, the composite plates are often multi-curve which is extremely difficult to do with AR500 and so they conform much better to the body. I'm almost positive AR500 now has composite plates now as well. If you can afford it, I definitely recommend composite plates. There are level IV plates that are only 3.4 pounds! And they are buoyant for Maritime operations. Being Level IV they will stop an armor piercing 30-06. They are around 400 a plate.
@hangtowngunner2188 жыл бұрын
My level IV are about 6.4 lbs per plate and are the 10x12 shooters cut. They are a huge improvement over My AR500 plates, especially when worn in a quality carrier like my SKD PIG. They aren't that thick or bulky either. I paid 180 dollars per plate and they were WELL worth it. I keep the AR500 plates in a cheaper carrier as a spare for a buddy or to keep in the trunk for an active shooter situation.
