Who makes a good plate carrier?

And what should I look for?
Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Do you want it to be "concealable" or not?
If not then I would look for one that is comfortable and does what you want it to. Level IIIa would be what I would want.
These guys have good stuff. I have a Testudo with ceramic plates and soft sides in OD. If you have the money I would go with poly plates, they are lighter and have neutral buoyancy and can take multiple hits.

Probably not a concealable one.

It's possible, I don't know her Daddies name. Don
I like dcon's idea, I was going to say wife or girl friend at least.

Sent you a PM with a link in it
A 'plate' isn't going to save you unless there's a medic 10' away.
I'll keep my wife close by then.

Highly recommend Tactical Assault Gear. I've got many miles of use on mine and it works great. Very durable.

Make sure she carries a full 'battle rattle' trauma bag.
I have an AR500 with steel plates 'cause that's what I could afford. I like it but the plates are heavy. I need to upgrade to lighter plates. I got it way back when AR500 had some really good deals going.
