I have worn armor for 20 years and have done lots of testing. By the way, don't buy anything from wish.com or bulletsafe. Free field training did some quite revealing tests on bulletsafe.
Yes, flat plates are a hard no. Super uncomfortable and can really rub you the wrong way, literally. I prefer double(sapi type) or multicurve. Single curve is doable if you cant get the double or multi, but on the front plate if worn high as you are supposed to, they stick out and you can really smoke your chin on them, especially if you are jumping down from something. There are alot of good inexpensive plates that are now double/multicurve like battlesteel or vism. I tested a vism level 4 10x12 multicurve 5.2lbs stand alone and it did very well. If you have the cash hesco, protech, hardwire, stealth armor(hexar flexible), etc make some great stuff.Since you have a lot of experience with this, are flat plates a no and I should only consider at least a curved plate (hard armor)?

My pleasure. If i can prevent people from learning the hard way as i did, its a bonus. Its nice to help save people the money and grief of buying stuff that most people are going to hate. Also, bulletproofme.com has some great products also.Thank you very much! Been trying to educate myself and was looking at Hesco and Hardwire. Also RMA Defense and BodyArmorOutlet were mentioned as selling Hesco and similar at lower prices under their own brand name?
