Let's hear what you gotta say! Ar500, ceramic, polyethylene
Rifle threats? Ceramic.
Handgun threats? Kevlar or PHMWPE. With the latter I'd probably still use a kevlar backer or trauma pad just in case.
Hard plates should be multi-curve for comfort.
Steel plates are affordable but trash for professional use. Body armor is already uncomfortable, I don't want to lug around 16+ lbs and die from spalling or backface deformation when I could be hauling around 7 lbs and survive the impact.
