Im looking into some plate carriers and soft body armor and im curious what brands have a good reputation. Most of the threads and reviews I’m finding online are from years ago I’d like to know where things stand now.

From what I’ve gathered AR500 is no good. RMA is a respectable budget option. What else can you tell me?

Excellent, thank you very much for your input. You pretty much covered all my bases.

One extra note I would like to chime in to add: It's a lot easier to fit tons of coverage (side armors, esp. soft ones) into bigger carriers. You can get LBT-6094s and Eagle MMACs used on eBay for about the same cost as a newer carrier that will be harder to armor up. Nylon doesn't really go bad.
