I know the wait sucks but that’s every company right now bro. COVID19 really swamped the 2A market as a whole. Also I would HIGHLY SUGGEST getting a better plate carrier. I started out with the MOPC too but quickly moved up and Bought an LBX ARMATUS II. Way better plate carrier.

[@brett5803]

no plate carrier is complete without your RAMBO knife!

[@Six_Fate]

LOL- reconfigured kit, switched the knife out to a SOG seal pup on the belt

[@Ironsight_Army]

Woot! My hoplite plates just shipped!

[@Thekevinator18]

Great video brother

[@mortisoutfitters3387]

Do y’all want a how-to for punji sticks?

[@JGoodZX6R]

Please check comment about the label on the back. What’s your input on that?

[@Six_Fate]

@MF F plates are snug, do not move much at all

[@charliemike1049]

Sucks, I just placed my order beginning of the month. I get it, with the times right now covid is screwing lead times but 16 weeks and I'm only on week 3 haha.

[@REPTOID_SOL]

Love the [B]oog shirt bro

[@BlueMarten]

- Do you know if these are edge to edge ceramic? Like, do they have a spongey foam perimeter sometimes sold as "drop protection?"

[@henryliu1046]

these are edge to edge yeah, anything hoplite/LTC sells is always edge to edge

[@michaelparis4435]

I got the Hoplite triple curve 26135, and got a Shellback carrier for now. Many recommend the Ferro Slickster carrier.

[@ShuPac23Personal]

is it a true swimmers cut for the 26135

[@michaelparis4435]

@@ShuPac23Personal The 26135 looks more like a shooters cut to me. I replaced the Shellback with the AR500 Veritas in Ranger Green, deceiding what plates to get is the easy part, the carrier is the difficult choice.

[@ShuPac23Personal]

@@michaelparis4435 I am curious if the 26135 will fit in Cry Precision maritime swimmer plate carrier.

How does the weight feel?

Amazaziiing

[@jadedclone6728]

RMA had mine to me in 3 days lol. Jesus Christ.

[@SD1Airsoft]

RMA cuts corners. Literally. They're not edge to edge.

[@jadedclone6728]

@@SD1Airsoft yeah and I knew that buying them. The 1155s I have barely have a quarter inch of foam around the perimeter.

[@trechtzach8151]

@@SD1Airsoft some are, some aren't. That being said RMA use cheaper materials, buy in bulk, and don't have the same range of products LTC does, that's why their stuff ships faster.

[@mortisoutfitters3387]

I know Isaid July 18th, I know it’s the 14th- My bad.

[@JGoodZX6R]

May have missed it but what model number were these? How wide is the top of the plate? They seem like they have a good angle cut to them in the shoulder.

[@jeveloz47]

Are these legit? I had some good shit when deploying but I now have to buy my family some. So are these any good and do yall trust them?

[@strideisgood]

I own a pair and the manufacturer is Leading Technology Composites which is a very reputable company that supplies a large amount of armor for various organizations

[@joeyhooper3]

If you haven't already got plates for you and your family I would personally go with hopelites or hescos

[@jean-claudeseagal7822]

What size were your plates? 10x12?

[@Six_Fate]

Yes!

[@juantorres2353]

Did your plates come properly labeled? I don’t see the NIJ certification nor the threat level of the plates not even where they were manufacture I’m so upset. It just says Hoplite and the model number this does not feel right to me. Why is this information missing?

[@JGoodZX6R]

I agree. Very weird they don’t have manufacture date, NIJ, etc. on the label.

[@Six_Fate]

I dont think it had visible labeling but its manufacted be leading technologies which has a good track record

[@Tremulousnut]

@@JGoodZX6R LTC plates are like that. You pretty much have to ring them up to see.

[@trechtzach8151]

@@JGoodZX6R not all LTC plates are certified. LTC civilian plates are sort of an afterthought, their main customer base is military after all, and the military isn't looking for certification.
