I run the AR-500 Veritas carrier with the multi curve level 3 plates with the extra spall coating and the absorbant concusion material behind those. I'd rather run steel plates and get used to the weight than ceramics that expire and many won't penetrate, but still leave concusions enough to severly harm your insides and break bones. "It didn't go through! But look at that buldge it left behind!" I've shot expired ceramics with Muzzy Bone Breaker broadheads with a bow, and they will go through when a rifle round wouldn't! Steel is the way to go!!!

Fun fact: AR500 makes all these plates, but sends them to other companies for distribution and their own coatings. AR500 is the largest MFG of steel plates and many other protective steel products. Read the back of each one, and they are all made in NV. Each company does have their carriers made to their standards, but are made in China. RTS does have some of the best bundle packages IMO, even though I run AR500 products.
