    Plates for women ?

    I did a search but didn't come up with anything, so Iam wanting to get my wife some plates I know its a bad time. I saw awhile ago that RMA was goint to release their female plates Oct. 1st but just found out it was for preorder. So I am looking for opinions from people with experience for women.

    Thanks Scott

    If that is the case, I would suspect the carrier will be the bigger issue.

    Yeah the RMA option came to mind, just got the email, I see you've checked them out already.

    Multi curve for sure, light as you can afford, is gonna be the best option until RMAs offering starts shipping, methinks.

    Multi-curve for sure then based upon her body type. DO you have budget in mind? Ceramic will be light but expensive depending on brand, weight, curve, etc.. If she isnt going to be wearing this daily for work I'd look at steel. Spartan Armor has a great multi-curve design. I have a set of 8x10 steel for my wife to use and it very light maybe 10lbs total. If you do go steel make sure you purchase whatever additional spall coating is available. Do a little research on steel vs Ceramic as people have widely varying opinions on it..

    Actually there's quite a bit of technical info out there that attests to the inferiority of steel armor.

    She will not be wearing all day, and will go with ceramick. Thinking of going with the Condor Cyclone lw.

    Thanks Scott

    I'm sure you already got a LW carrier , but I just looked at RTS LW carrier for my wife... it is KISS simple... she isn't gonna be doing any Movement to Contact with it.... purely defensive... I think that might be an option for others looking to get something for their significant other... or old school /non woke term is WIFE..
    AND its Made in USA

    If she does not need loadout options, you may want to go with a concealable option. I went with the FirstSpear The Slick. I can then use it as low vis concealable option when she is not using it.
