These are their original steel alloy plates and, at that price, they're the basic, flat, 10"x12" plates only, with the standard base coating. Choice of cut for right- or left-handed shooters.

Minimal, but at two for $65 they just might be worth picking up as spares.
Upgrade to curved and add blunt force pads... $120 (plus shipping?)

Nice deal

That's seems like a hella good price....
Why was I expecting ceramic to be lighter? ... Some quick checking says I had a bad assumption.

I picked up this vest in November... Like it a lot.. Need plates though.

FedEx says I should be receiving this tomorrow. Hopefully not needed.

Now I need to start researching plates. :roll: :lol:

Re: Anybody bought body armor? Thinking about it....

I've been looking at Skarr, but I'd be a size medium and they've been sold out for months.
I'm considering a Chinese brand that has received some solid reviews... Thoughts?
