Just a little something for the bungee cord fund. Thank you for all the work you do to inform consumers about armor performance - your dedication to this topic is valuable and appreciated! Given your first hand experience and understanding of the products, it would be really special to hear your thoughts in an annual review video recapping the best armor in various categories (by level, cost, weight, etc). All the best to you and your family and thank you again for making this educational content to share with us.

My issues is objectively rating them. I have this list which makes sense in my mind. As an example, the Highcom 3S9M is at the top because it's stopping M80A1 all while being sub 6lbs. It's more expensive than the RMA 1092 though. I rated the SAS Hexar lower because it's more expensive and when compared to the G2/3S9M, it let an M80 ball shot through. Level III+ Highcom 3S9M RMA 1092 G2 Stealth Armor Systems HEXAR (B4C or Alumina) Militech RF2 Hesco 3810 Spartan Armor Systems Hercules Lite Adept Thunder RF (no M855A1) Tactical Scorpion Gear III+ Xtreme (foam edge) AR500 A3 (No M855A1, and Single curve) Chinese Import Tile array Level IV: Adept Colossus US Military XSAPI RMA 1192 Militech RF3 Black Label Stealth Armor Systems Dragon Skin or Hexar Solid Spartan Armor Hercules Xtreme (formally Ares) Hesco 4800 US Military ESAPI RMA 1165 Hesco 4601 Tacticon TASPIV03 (Pending CPL Listing) Highcom 4S17M RMA 1155 Botach Battle Steel Level IV (Longfri Plate) LAPG Level IV or similar (foam edges, bare min budget recommendation) SRT: Hesco L211 Hesco M210 RMA ESRT Hesco L210 TSG ASP

Very useful getting a rough listing. Would be cool to see the militech rf2 SIC added eventually

Good on Hesco for improving on their product once its shortcomings were revealed!

Yeah I would say the PE benefits make it a much more capable plate..

13:40 That's surprisingly awesome. Velocity is usually the armor killer. I guess not always, lol.
@BuffRANGE20 күн бұрын
Not always. It's dependent on bullet construction and the material used in the armor :D

I just got a pair of these a couple weeks ago. They’re really light and comfortable. Nice to know it can take some hits.

Is Al /Stealth Armor currently selling? Maybe I'll have to see if he's game. The specs have it as a big contender in the RF2 spec sheet at 4.8 lb.

Buffman, when there's foam around the edges, does it clearly feel like foam or is deceiving enough that one would need to peel back the cover to know? Thank you for what you do!
@BuffRANGE5 күн бұрын
You sometimes won’t know because it could be a rigid foam, so you’d have to pull cover or stab it with a sharp knife

If you could customize an SRT plate what would you want it to stop, how much would you like it to weigh, and how thin would you want it to be
@BuffRANGE2 ай бұрын
It would need to perform like the M210 or RMA ESRT plate. The issue becomes that at the weights those plates come in at, you can get a III+ coverage for not much more of a hit. It would have to be about .5-.75" thick tops.

Is that the same backer M210 uses? I remember the M210 did better than the L210.

Without them telling me, it’s same type Of material; UHMWPE. Could be different grade though.
