Does anyone have a good resource to compare armor cuts ideally with a diagram of expected body coverage? There's quite a variety between concealment, balcs, mbav, plates/backers, side plates/backers, etc. Hoping to understand the limitations and benefits of each with visual representations. I remember seeing something comparing a few cuts about 5-6 yes ago but nothing recently and it was only a couple. If not available, maybe we can start in this thread.

There are hundreds of different cuts of armor out there.

Each different manufacturer has different concealment cuts, and a variety of tactical cuts. SPEAR/BALCS is pretty much the only shape they all have in common for SOME models.
