“These were the best value I could find. I researched for months and in the end it was the only real choice. Multi curved with thread level 4 protection and offered in SAPI sizes. I thought I was a small but the shooter cut 10x12 was perfect for me at 5'9", 165lbs.”
“Id be more inclined to give a perfect rating if I knew exactly how my particular plates performed when being shot. Hopefully I'll never have to experience that.
After a year of researching different types of plates, I decided on multi curve ceramic level 4 standalone sapi cut (thats a mouthful) armor. The next step was finding a manufacturer who I felt produced a quality I could rely on. The search began. Forum after forum, video after video, the deeper I looked the more HighCom started to become prevalent in my endeavor. Often cited as a top manufacturer of body armor I began to browse their site with a goal in mind: Quality plates at a reasonable price. I dont think my research steered me wrong.
I was able to find exactly what I was looking for all along. Trusty plates at a solid price point. I would absolutely recommend HighCom to anyone seriously interested in finding quality at an affordable price.
Moving on to the plates-- They're quite solid. A little hefty and thick for my carrier but fit snugly without any worry on my part. The cut and fit are spot on. Make sure you measure yourself and know what youre buying when looking. Maybe I can buy a plate in the future for evaluation and give it a working review but so far so good.”
“Great piece of equipment at a light weight. Very good construction and tight external nylon covering. After watching the torture test online and holding it in my hands I have no doubt that this should help protect me in case of a worst case scenario. The lrg plate fits great in my AVS Detachable Chest Rig.”
“I haven't been shot so I guess I really can't rate the performance...yet. The cost was competitive and the quality seems high. Initially I was put off by the documented verification of US citizenship but I appreciate the fact that this company takes controls seriously. It should translate to the product as well.”
