Body armor question and specs
I'm interested in filling my plate carrier with some LVIII armor but not sure which is better and with all the hype right now, would I be getting the best.
I thought was to do LVIII plates then wrap them with soft armor making the equivelent of LVIV. I have read were people are doing this. What are the thoughts on that.
Also I have seen these types of plates. Which are better and why (besides weight)
HY100 STEEL
AR500 Steel
Ceramic plate
Kevlar plate
I also notice some vendors selling the AR500 plates state the plates have been tested to LVIII standards but they don't come out and say they are certified at LVIII. This concerns me.
Need some help deciding whats what and the best thing for me. I'm looking for both front and back 10X12, and side plates 6X8
Thanks
