Did 3.5 miles at 16:20/mile w/ 35lbs this am. Felt good. Plenty left in the tank. I’ll increase distance this week.

For a more economical armor solution, does anyone have thoughts on steel ops? It’s fully coated ar600 and seems pretty good, especially for the price.

I need to be under $400 right now. I’d like the flexibility to have an adaptable carrier. Something I can toss under a stiff jacket(Duluth fire hose) or slap some mag carriers and gear on it.

I know at my price point I have to compromise and will need to upgrade components. It’ll be my first, not last(hopefully).

I am looking at this specifically with either the pro plates or armis plates: https://shop.steelops.com/products/vanquish-kit

It’ll take higher quality accessories and then I can upgrade the carrier as funds allow.

If you are going to purchase steel armor, you should find plates significantly thinner than those you posted. Velocity makes plates that are special threat steel plates .27" thick. A couple other companies do similar plates in the price range you are looking at- and they are able to be worn under a tshirt if you want. You are looking at stuff twice as thick.

Also- if you have a good plate carrier, the need for a spray on spall guard coating for your steel plates really is negligible. At least from the testing I've seen. Not saying there is no danger there...just smaller than people think.

No bro. No. Not when you can get this for a couple thousand more after shipping:



Or this for a couple thousand less after shipping:



In all seriousness though...could we find a big enough donor, or work out some other way, to get some armor which we could bring out to protests in January?

The thickness you were talking about makes more sense now. I wasn’t finding anything really thinner than the 7/16” with full coating.

Huh.  That's about half what I paid for the 511 TacTec I got in the spring.  (Still don't have proper plates for it, but I load it up with plates from my weight set).

Any idea of quality / functional differences?

Virginia only signed the Constitution during ratification because James Madison explained at the House of Burgesses it was a revocable contract.

There's some quote where some guy asks "What is the Constitution?" And Madison replies "We shall find it in the states."

Also, Virginia didn't leave with South Carolina. We left later.

It is wild how that skyline evolves.

I mean, i'd have words with the architects of a few of the last buildings to go up. But as far as skylines go... the only better looking one is Philly. And no one likes Philly.

I do not like philly.
