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?

Coming back to this because I learned something new, for you or anyone else who might come back to read this.

Mira Safety plates are likely rebranded Chinese stuff (and therefore has no NIJ certification) that does not have full protection at the plate edges. They are apparently not well regarded in the scene for these reasons.

I will be looking into replacing these plates and keeping them as spares. Goes to show you should do your research before dropping money.
