I’m going to look into that. I know hydro cutting makes it safe for like he said the heat treat

Idk. I’d trust it to stop a 5.56 at anything more than cqb distance. And if im taking hits center mass at that distance I’ve got bigger issues than how many hits my plate will stop

But on their FB page they have adressed the NIJ claims several times.

That's a good point Stephen

I’m wearing ceramics right now

As a police supply store we literally couldn’t sell them to departments because of the lack of certification. We could sell to individual officer. If a officer bought them it was for a throw on carrier over their soft armor. But it wasn’t something we would take liability for.

@steve there is a video from...years ago, of some guys putting over 100 rounds of GT into the lvl 3 plate from 50ft(?) and it still didn't fail. Its reputation is well deserved.

My ceramics I’m wearing right now are about 6.3lbs each

Not bad at all

Because I wear large

Really? I thought they would be lighter?

The mediums are light

5.5lbs a plate

Same mine are seven because they're 10x12

Cause my 10x12s are 7 pounds and they are steel

Mine are 10x13

Sapi?

Esapi

Ah mine are swimmer that explains it lol

Whats the thickness?

My 11x14 is 9lbs

SAPI are much lighter then ESPI lol

Late SAPI are literally 4.6lbs

Large

ESAPI are 6.3lbs large

That's still not bad

Don’t know thickness off hand

No it’s not bad

I wear it comfortably for hours and hours

I was thinking it was something like 1-1.5 inches

I’ll get calipers later on off shift

7 lbs for two plates doesn’t sound like much. But that’s a bitch of a difference in a day walk or long sprint.

I'll go check mine

6.3lbs per plate

Not both together

Its per plate

So it’s 12.6 lbs if I’m not retarded

I know. But my plates are 3.5 heavier x2 plates

What cut do you have?

Yeah my two plates are only 14lbs

1 inch exactly
