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?

Whatever plates you get, make sure they are NIJ Certified. That means the NIJ themselves have actually tested the plates. Lots of manufacturers out there don't actually get NIJ to test them, and do their own testing (if any). They'll say like NIJ tested or tested to NIJ standards. Those are a no go.

Also, don't get steel plates.
