My friend is deploying to Afghanistan and I was wondering if anyone knew where she could find a more female friendly cut plate for a busty woman. She has an Extra Small ESAPI currently and she is swimming in it. She wears an extra small, extra short set of ACU's, so she is tiny. Thanks for any help or suggestions.
I know they are working on issuing plates made for females but they aren't available yet. looking for serious options, not guys asking for pics. |
| No experience, but this place claims to be the only maker of female plates: http://www.pinnaclearmor.com/body-armor/plates/ No details there, so you'd have to contact them. |

Is she even allowed to acquire plates that weren't issued to her? I'll let her worry about that when I find something to fit her needs. With the units she gets assigned to though I highly doubt that will be an issue. There are very few female interrogators with the proper language skills. I looked at the Pinnacle systems website, but then I realized they are the makers of the Dragon skin system. With the various reports I have read on them, some great, some terrible, I don't think I would go with them. Thanks for the help..... there just doesn't seem to be too much out there for women. On my google searches I mainly got things for Live Action Role Players - just like the people in the movie Role Models. |

If shes busty how can she be swimming with xs esapis Plates are too wide I guess......Not a hundred percent sure. She says they crush in all the wrong places. She is currently wearing 2-3 sports bras depending on how active she is to cut down on the discomfort. |

Suggest she also clear SGLI coverage with respect to not wearing issue armor Its a bitch, but I have not come across female specific plates from my travels But then again what size carrier and type is she using |

Thanks for the input. I'll try to IM her.
I believe my friend is wearing an IOTV not sure about the size but more likely not the best fit too. I figure when I hate a piece of gear it's pretty easy to buy something off the shelf, but I'm noticing that its not that simple for her. |
