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
granted triple curve
I thought about getting swimmers for my personal plates
I recomend them
But haven’t messed with them before
I’ve got large swimmer rear medium shooter cut front
really improves range of movement, though you could probably still do SAPI for back plate as you aren't really needing much motion back there unless you actually are swimming
I just want to shoulder my rifle better lol
They are ok if u size up and use it as a rear but I feel like as a front plate staying same size u give up a lot of pelvic girdle and collar bone coverage
Jesus swimming in body armor. That just sounds like a nightmare
It is
I don't do water, espeically in full gear.
I read somewhere that they make buoyant plates for team guys now
does anyone have a link to that mcfreaking bouyant set of plates?
Yeah the seals have like boyancy plates and shit
I’ll drop my kit fast if I’m ever in uncontrolled water
Better shot that drowning In my opinion
If I’m shot I still got a chance
But yeah the steel plates are about a 4th the thickness of the Sapi plates so you get a much better range of motion.
I haven’t had a problem with the thickness. It’s mainly the cut to me
Not to mention if you go underwater you have some protection from bullets.
If I drop kit, go under and swim
It’s a safe bet
I have worn a full set of the SAPI and its like being the fucking marshmallow man.
some carriers have drop tabs for quick eject of plates
Idk maybe I’m just used to the thickness but I haven’t had a problem
@Recapdrake that’s like a standard now a days
@Recapdrake that is why I like the quick detach shoulders on carriers, though I know a lot of people hate it.
I don’t know who would hate it
@Itcilis I think they have slimmed down some of the new ones due to the hybrid formulas.
Maybe that’s what I got. I haven’t checked these plates in like weeks
