    Just got the level III LAPG plates and Atlas carrier (because I'm frugal as f**k). Initial impression is good. Gonna start doing some workouts in it this week. Hopefully in a week or two I'll be able to start running some shooting drills now that it's getting warmer outside. It's been about 10 years since I've shot wearing armor so it'll be fun relearning that.

    ^^^This, my actual need to wear armor is extremely low, I'm not a GI Joe no more and for all intensive purposes this works. I guess I also don't go around looking verifying that all the products I own are made in the US, maybe I'm lazy, but mostly I'm just looking to fill the need and then I move on.

    I ordered my 2nd plate (lapg L4 Plate) and the Beez Aptum front and rear 10x12 bags.

    The plate I have now seems made well as far as its exterior... A quick toss on my bathroom scale said 6.5lbs, will try to weigh it on my kitchen scale to get a better measurement.

    How was the fit in the plate carrier for these plates?

    I just placed my order the other day. Might be a few weeks before I get it. I will be sure to update once I get it all.

    Wore the Atlas on the treadmill the other day, really comfortable once I took the shoulder straps off no chafing on the hips. Gonna be a bit before I get a chance to run a rifle with it on, but I'll keep working out in it for the meantime.

    Looks like my order shipped. I'll post an update once it shows up.

    Any particular info you (or anyone else) looking for? I can try to take some pics and do a quick write up of what I have and any fitment issues if any. Can post here or in one of the other gear pic threads.

    Beez Aptum showed up today. I ordered the 10x12 front and rear with the tubes elastic cummerbun (3 pocket). My LAPG lvl4 plates slid in with no issues. They fit Snug but not too tight, on one when I was first sliding it in I had it a little canted and it was binding... Once I realized and squared it up it slid right in. Both front and rear pockets were deep enough to fully close around the plates.

    Total weight as is 13.2lbs.
