I got the level 3 special threat I got the level 3 special threat. Definitely light weight and not to thick so stock positioning is the same. Mutli-curve hugs well enough...could be a little move curved at top towards the collar but it's fine. Hopefully they never have to be tested in a real scenario and hopefully they do their job. Gunsandgear as well as iraqivet8888 have great reviews/demonstrations of these plates. Coating was even and they look well made. Shipped fast and you can't beat the price for since they are basically a lightweight level 4. I recommend

Bought level 3a+ armor plates Bought level 3a+ armor plates. Arrived in just one week. Excellent conditition, great quality. Perfect fit in my carrier and. Battlesteel.com has the best price on the web. I highly recommend!

Bought level 4 plates Bought level 4 plates, took two weeks to ship, gets here, promptly stolen (obviously not their fault it was stolen), tried to get in contact with them for a solid week but never answered, a few times it seems like they declined my call. Worst customer service in the industry, will never shop their store ever again.

Great overall experience Great overall experience. Relatively quick shipping and on-time updates about shipping progress. The quality seems to be great and the reviews from notable individuals give me piece of mind. The price point is amazing as well.

Fast service Fast service. Excellent product. Weighing at only 14.2 lbs (other scale may vary) total weights for both plates. $100 is a bargain for your life protection. Definitely trust the brand based on outcome of tests.
