The pro's of these armored plates at level 3 is the light weight design with a nice build up of outer coating. The plates are formed well for comfortable fit, and they fit in a 10 x 12 plate carrier vest with trauma pads very well. I am very pleased with the quality and the fit of these plates and they are great for the wife wight wise in her plate carrier! Weight a problem for you but need the level 3 protection then these plates from Tactical Scorpion Gear are the way to go for sure! The processing and shipping time was excellent especially considering the times now,the process was if it was a normal day. I completely recommend this product for tactical interest. I don't see any cons to the subject considering the value and application of these plates I am all in and thumbs up on this one!Read full review

Product was exactly like it said. I just don't like how heavy they are. (Maybe I shouldn't have been so cheap and got the light-weight version.)

Good for home protection and some exterior work if SHTF. I have a Condor plate carrier with SAPI inserts rated IIIA. Which is good enough for going places locally. But, I wanted to step up my protection level. My SAPI inserts will serve as trauma pads...

The plates are kind of heavy (and I am a 240 lb weightlifter...), but they seem like they will stop a rifle bullet....One needs a good carrier with them, I use an old Army surplus 3A vest, which accommodates the plates pretty well. They are NOT for wearing under ones uniform, they are too big and bulky. I work security, at night. Just like wearing seatbelts while driving, its good to wear body armor when working in urban California....especially when working the graveyard shift. It also helps you get a good workout wearing them all night...Remember, body armor is not meant to save your life necessarily (though it will do that - if you are lucky), but rather to keep you in the fight, and/or allow you to flee.....I keep tourniquets and duct tape on hand just in case....

I have unlimited pros but here's the "cons": The curve is less than expected, but realistic for your chest, unless you're one of those weird people with cylinders for torsos The weight is what I would expect for the best laser cut pair of base coated plates under $100. Get some trauma pads or foam "dummy plates" for comfort against blunt force. Work out. Wear them as often as possible. Get in shape. If you can't wear 16 pounds, you're either 16 pounds too weak or 16 pounds overweight. Eventually it will feel like part of your body and when you take it off you'll jump and smell the ceiling. Armor is my new hobby. Also bought some Kevlar for my non dominant arm, and Kevlar feels like paper compared to rifle level steel.

The plates are good just very heavy to carry. If you don’t mind the extra weight, you are good. The price was good for the protection it provides being a level 3. Good for the money.
