yikes
so can I ask questions about helmets and plates now or what?
You can do that whenever you want
Is there any sort of quick reference or easy breakdown of the ceramic plate brands listed in the FAQ? Any that stand out for any particular reason?
Not in the pastebins
I finally got around to ordering a PC setup, and I don't really want to have it sitting around without plates forever.
What’s your budget?
Budget isn't really a constraint.
I'd prefer not to overpay just because gucci
But I'm not looking for bargain bin shit
So, I'm expecting to spend $800-2000
Well you have lots of options at that range
I'm an obsessive comparison shopper, so I'm trying to start with a limited set of options.
A lot of guys recommend Hesco
There are 8 listed brands in the pastebin.
Just look them up
Just looking for any thing that might distinguish one from another in terms of build, price, quality, ease of purchase.
and see what they offer?
🤔
The 3810, U210, and 4800 all come to mind as good choices in that range
Quality wise they're all the same
Depends on what protection level you’re looking for
Just buy some XSAPI’s faggot
3M, Tencate, Ceredyne, LTC are all hard to buy direct, retailers offer rebrands and etc
ESAPI'ish I think, but I don't have intimate expertise with commercially available armor and modern standards.
Top level protection without being obscenely heavy, SAPI-Medium size.
Esapis are level 4 icw
I'm not trying to build a mil-clone rig or anything, so specific brand gucci is irrelevant
A lot of guys in the US are dropping M2 AP protection in favor of 3+/special threat plates
But there are different opinions
If the weight and price difference increase isn't unreasonable, that seems like the route I'd go.
Buy my xsapis.
$3000
sure, just mail them to my business address in Nevada and I'll send you the bitcoin
I would look at Hesco 3810s with that budget but others here probably have other opinions or more knowledge
Is that even a reasonable budget?
I knew the plates would be expensive, I just don't know how much as a ratio to the cost of literally everything else is right.
Like, I'll spend 1:1 on rifle optics.
How much is your life worth?
It’s enough for pretty high end plates
