My man… samesies, I bought my first set of armor, and figured out a way of carrying my Glock 34 with a streamlight and extra mag daily over my Glock 26 that summer. My wife and I moved to florida in April and this damn hurricane has made me add more and more to my bug out plan. Felt great bringing in 27 firearms and 5k rounds of ammo into a hotel in 7 trips with no one noticing. But I felt like crap not having a jet boil to cook our food with in our hotel when Uber eats and the whole town shut down. Point is you never know what you may need until you need it. If you have the time and the money make it a priority to be prepared. I have a grey ghost apparition backpack I can put my AR, a backup Glock 2 extra 30 rounders, with a coupled 30 rounders in the pipe ready to go and some tourniquets and I fak (extra batteries for everything) and that is pretty awesome but shoot this hurricane made me realize a lot. That bag is great for road trips and going into hotels so I can always have a rifle (I will always have it with me). But that backpack doesn’t do shit about being hungry or cold or needing to help a family member stay dry and warm. I’m reevaluating everything right now and I really need to add more of the less sexy (MK18 with glocks on glocks and combat loadout to more of a how am I gonna eat and be able to sleep type set up)

If you live in this time, you need it.

I had the same thought about layering soft armor under hard armor. I would think that should there be a round that makes impact, the durable soft layer will disperse some of the force around the surface area of the pad. There will still be injury, but I would think that it would be the difference between bruised/hairline-fractured ribs to full-on broken ribs. As to which I would purchase, I think of prioritizing the harm I am prepping for in terms of statistical likelihood and level of harm. If I was a convenience store worker, it would be double plates. As an office guy, it would be the soft pads that can fit underneath a dress shirt, in case someone tries to rob me on my way to the parking lot and things get sloppy. I know people are prepping for much worse these days, but my priority is the immediate and likely harm before the less likely harm.

The need for body armor is similar to your need for a concealed firearm and/or 4 wheel drive.. it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Agilite level 4 ceramics. Light weight, multi hit capabilities and not very obtrusive as far as thickness. Nuff said!

I run steel with spall coating but the most important part is the anti spall sleeve to put around the actual plate made out of kevlar. But realistically the goal is to get hit once and avoid further rounds. Ceramic is lighter but long term I like my steel due to the durability if anyone were to unload say 9mm into it. It's really just a safety net, the first line of defense is training and positioning.
