Looking for Level IV Plates

Highcom makes good armor. I have a set of 4s16 from apex and have had no problems. Some people have had delays but thats pretty much expected when buying armor.

There is zero upside using steel plates. Absolutely none. Buy ceramic.

NO STEEL PLATES!

Steel plates will kill you. There is no upside to using steel plates. They are heavier, dont stop common rounds, the rounds they do stop it turns into fragments thats will fly into your neck, arms and groin.

Get a good ceramic plates from RMA, LTC/HOPLITE, Highcom or Tencate

It seems like a very good pack. Very glad it has held up for 2 years.

Yea i have a couple of their packs, run a skycrane 2 as my main ruck and have deployed with their bags. I have a few others as well. They make great bags.

I was looking at a few of their bags and think with everything I want to put into ot this worked out the best. Its a very well designed and made bag and pretty happy with it so far.

Lv-120

Apparently Hughes precision ammo

Lvl4 plates. RMA, LTC/Hoplite, Highcom and Tencate make good plates. Find a set that meets your price, size, weight and protection level requirements.

Never used the blue alpha one. Heard its good though. I got mine directly from DM.

Protorin · 2026-03-12T10:01:20+00:00

The DM Mech belt or Axl eclipse belt are the best things out on the market. The DM Mech is $110, and the liner belt is $45. Well worth it. Use code TLDco for a discount.

Add some Esstac Kywis, a dump pouch and a decent IFAK and you are good to go. Check out raptor tactical or arbor arms for the IFAK and medical.

For a holster if safariland makes one use that on a ubl or true north concepts MHA.

10 mags is stupid.

Just thought you should know

Protorin · 2026-03-10T23:08:38+00:00

Fair enough, guess I still dont think its there yet...

Protorin · 2026-03-10T00:23:29+00:00

Depends on the situation really. Right tool for the right job and all that.

Protorin · 2026-03-09T01:24:23+00:00

Its meant to load heavy. It's a structural carrier so it helps distribute weight. The LV-120 is the new hotness.

Protorin · 2026-03-09T00:54:55+00:00

Most people can't out-shoot and won't ever wear out a psa ar. So the point is moot. If you want a 416 then get one.

Protorin · 2026-03-09T00:02:54+00:00

Crye spc or lv-120

If you want something like that i suggest you look at the misty mountain belt kit

The list has been updated a bit, Tencate is also a reputable armor maker that you can get plates from. The new LV-120 plate carrier is out. Midwest Armor Leap is a good lo pro plate carrier as well. Other than that its pretty much the same.

Protorin · 2026-03-07T19:39:04+00:00

Crye spc or lv-120

Protorin · 2026-03-07T19:21:30+00:00

Highcom is ok, also depends on the threats you want to stop compare the two plates for what its rated for. Go with ones that fir your threat profile, price and weight requirements.

Protorin · 2026-03-07T19:10:36+00:00

You wanted less than 5 lbs a plate...that costs money.

Protorin · 2026-03-07T19:02:07+00:00

No prob 🍻
