I have never owned one of these. Other than looking at pictures and reading the reviews on this forum I know nothing about them. I have been reading a lot of the reviews and will continue to search for more. I don't require crazy bells and whistles this is just something for my own personal safety during my sessions at shooting clubs and in door ranges. Due to so many price differences I am kinda lost. Are these like body armor that have to be replaced every few years? I read the plates do have to be replaced over time. Thanks in advance guys

BFG PlateMinus - L or XL Wolf Grey. Meets the needs of what you want it to do low profile & concealment. Run some matching pouches from BFG which is also low profile. I've ran some other slick LPACs Mayflower & LBT and I truly think that the BFG PlateMinus and Crye JPC are the bees knees for low profile work. Id sell the HSP D3 and go lighter.
Thin is in. You'll thank me later.
