Anyone know where I could get a IIIA vest with a plate carrier here in Canada?

one shot tactical supply. It'll cost you out the wazoo though. Just the plate carrier will be like 500. Then you have the cost of plates, 700 I think and level IIIa inserts at around 1400$.

That, and if you're gonna invest on something to save your life, why the hell would you wanna go cheap? Hell, I'd want the most expensive body armor available.

Well if you can get the same stuff for a lot cheaper in the States, you know something's off.

$500 for a plate carrier sounds ridiculous. You mean a IIIA vest that you can insert plates or just a piece of material that holds plates over your torso? If it's the latter, that's just ridiculous.
