1" is about the break off point for comfortable thickness in my opinion.

The hescos you're talking about are just under an inch

I'd prefer my plates to be to be a bit thinner, but I'm not going to complain too much for what I got.

And yeah, I'd say bar for entry should be single curve ***or*** 1"+ thickness.

There’s kind of a trend of manufacturers chasing inexpensive lightweight plates by using composite plates that end up being thick as shit

Lightweight, Low profile, Cheap.
Choose two.

Multi curve fits in there too, but it still applies

And protection level

Everything is a trade off

Are these any good?

Just ordered some for my wife

She keeps bitching that I am going to leave her during the boogaloo

About how all this gear is just for me

I mean she

isn't wrong

but it will keep a cap on the bitching

Your wife is going to hate single curves even worse than you do lol.

Hope she likes giant thin blue line flags

That’s probably not the most comfortable for tiddies

My wife looks like a 12 year old boi

On vacation 2 weeks back she got ID checked to see if she could sit in the emergency exit row on a plane(you have to be 15)

most dudes in this group are curvier than my wife

Sounds pretty gay bro ngl

im probably just in denial gay

I’d say comfort priorities should be multicurve, then weight, then thickness

It’s seriously insane how much difference an aggressively curved plate can make

Is she pretty small?

like 5ft and 100lbs

To the point where @/K/oko had a set of 8 lb monstrosities that were super aggressively curved and way more comfortable than my esapis, which are also multicurve but not as aggressive
