What are some of the best plates and plate carriers to get for my first purchase? Is there a list of best to worst, or breakdown of different quality? Or are they all more or less the same?

>kid throws some sort of IED at the courthouse
>he gets busted because someone found a review his grandma left for the shitty airsoft vest she bought him

okay then buy a condor MOPC in bulk. if you buy 300+ of them you can likely get them for $30 a piece and be able to supply your entire Ghetto. You won't have actual plates but you'll have plate-carriers; which can instill confidence in combatants. If your ghetto-allies WANT to spend an extra $200 for an actual plate they can do that, but the carrier alone will be a boon.
wear a Range Trap patch when you do plz.
no budget
training, SHTF and larping fun
I see a lot of people post their gear and I always feel left out. Its time for me to get a proper kit

NIJ certified armor, composites only. Ceramic, kevlar, polyethylene. Do not even look at steel.
forgot to mention go multicurve or go home
Crye SPC with small cummerbund since they run large. Esstac kywis triple mag shingle up front. Your pick of RMA, Hesco, LTC (through Hoplite) or Highcom NIJ certified plates.
pick from this list, doesn't have to be these exact PC's, but these are quality companies.
lucas doesn't make his PC's in house and there was a whole debacle where they were made in Mexico. Aside from this, there is nothing standing out from that design especially for the price. AR500 and Spartan sell steel garbage armor and do not make their own PC's. Look at Hesco or Hoplite for armor plates.
What do I pick if I want groin protection for fashion
codpiece
any major differences between these? Aside from the brand name, they all look identical. Could I just pick any at random and get the same performance
basically yes. The AVS has a much more involved suspension system so it will be more comfortable for longer.
Arbor PCs are pretty comfy
JPC if not loading a bunch of shit on it
I have a Ferro Concepts Slicker and I find it to be very comfy. I also ordered a Whiskey Two Four bladder-carrier that straps around the rear-plate as well as a "quick detach tube" from a&a tactical.
Lol you do a lot of maritime ops dipshit? You'll never be fast at donning with that shit you fricking ignorant fashion victim.
Velcro is annoyingly loud
Slickster/AC1/MEPC/LV OVT - Minimalist
Strandhogg/Aegis/K19 - Structured
this seems like a good thread to ask. Im also looking at some plate carriers but also some bullet proof vests. Im a security guard, the job is pretty chill but we've seen an increase in crazies, homeless, drug addicts ect. The vest they gave us is shit. we shot an extra one and a 9mm went rent through it. I asked my boss and he said I could by my own. what do you guys recommend?
I'd suggest a IIIa certified vest with a stab rating. Plate carriers tend toward shitty coverage compared to vests and whats more likely - someone shooting at you with a rifle or someone stabbing you in the flank with a shitty blade?
can u rec a vest like you described? thx
You want hesco 4400s or 4401s. Level IV ceramics. Soft armor is garbage, AR500/steel is garbage.
thoughts?
If it's your jim jam go for it.
you're good. Uno/MEPC/Slickster are all the same fricking thing. Slick plate carriers with scalability are the future. You can ever wear a slick plate carrier WITH load-bearing equipment and still be good-to-go.
Brits wear plate carriers with "belt & yokes" underneath
whatever you do, go with a placard system. The hyper customization of full face molle is a meme.
Grey ghost gear minimalist is 50% off right now. It a nonshitty. Condor sentry.
2nd this, their pc surprised me. its very well made and comfy as is. i have gone countless hours in it
any chance you can list pros and cons? I mean it's only $60 with the sale so I don't see a reason not to
apparently their stuff is shit quality and their customer support is non existent. Honestly just buy a wtfgear for like $100
Crye precision JPC
Mayflower APC
Spiritus systems 119
Yes they are all expensive but you do get what you pay for mainly comfort if you are going to be wearing for hours at a time your shoulders and back will thank you.
is it can be bounding time?
guys I need to buy a belt. Any good labor day sales going on? Grey Ghost was out of my size in the color I need.
