I wear 9 pounds of SBA in the field. The lightest rifle plate is about the same.
Spalling on steel plates is a serious risk, it can take your throat out!
I wear the "Floating Rifle Plate"
18 pounds total.
Now add a basic combat load-out (17 pounds)
Now I'm humping 35 pounds, just to get into the fight.
Forget Dollars. Money is worthless if you are dead.
Buy the lightest gear possible, Blue Force Gear LBE weighs OUNCES and DKX BA is so light it floats
