ELI5? No such thing for body armor. Read this and you will have a better clue than most on what to buy.I still haven't gotten around to ordering anything. Is there an article sort of like "body armor explained to me like I'm 5" ?
Did you get a ship notice or anything or did it just show up by surprise?Just got mine in today.!! View attachment 121649
The only reason I probably got a ship notice was my wtf email. I figured I would wear it around Walmart. I’m not wearing it in my truck, I’m too fat!! Couldn’t breathe!!Did you get a ship notice or anything or did it just show up by surprise?
You should wear it around all day!
So who makes the best budget plate carrier??? And anywhere now I should be looking to order plates from?
I have an LAPG branded carrier (atlas) that is pretty nice and it’s cheap. Seems to be holding up pretty well. I got it for an armed security gig this spring and wore it for a couple weeks.So who makes the best budget plate carrier??? And anywhere now I should be looking to order plates from?

Found this interesting...
It's a great idea....thanks for sharing the video !
A bit of reconfiguration after new plates in.
RTS lvl4 Ceramic
Convinced to give them a try after seeing the following video. Bulkier by far, but what a weight difference! Little resizing and adjustment but not much.

Happy to. Links included:Thanks for the video link; the RTS plates looked very impressive. Sure like setup you have. Did you get your plate holder from RTS as well? Looks like the shoulder straps are comfortable too. Can your carrier accommodate the RTS side plates? Care to share about how much you have invested in your complete setup...plates, carrier, pouches, other accessories? Don't have a setup yet but definitely considering one. Thanks.
