Ar500 hard armour 10x12 plates UPDATE POST 158

[geclark]

Mine are great for clearance, but I'm 6'2" with a size 48 jacket torso. So these plates are like little name tags on me lol
On a side note. The Spaul coating is way better than I expected!

Same - I'm an inch shorter than you but was originally a little worried about the lack of a shooters cut impacting shoulder movement. Not so much eh?

Very happy with the plates and the carrier.

How's the front plate feel , as in having a non shooters cut ? I've never tried a square plate in the front and was wondering how much more cumbersome it felt ?

Its only 10 inches wide. I'm tall and skinny and don't really notice it. Some people like to hang the plate higher or lower than others. I haven't really decided on the optimum adjustment yet. I'm waiting until it gets colder and need heavier clothes. I notice the weight more than anything, its 10 pounds heavier than my Lev II

You usually wear the carrier so that the top of the plate sits just below your sternal notch .

I received my plates and carrier today , both very nice !! I'm 5'10" and don't notice the square shape at all. Even tried shouldering different rifles on strong and tried weak side transitions with no interference from the square cut. No different than my rigid shooter cut plates... I am built abnormally wide tho but both plates and carrier are very comfortable.

Take pics how do you find the weight, I'm 5'10 too.

thanks for the good posts guys
good info for those looking that are not in the know.
The shooters cut is ideal, but not "needed" per say.

we will be working on shooters cut as well, but we have a lot going on at the moment inc, me moving.

I just tried my plates in my condor plate carrier. The rear plate fits easily and the front fits fine, but is a little snug.
The front pocket is meant to hold a clipped corner plate. Hope that helps.

The carrier is quite comfortable , shoulder padding distributes the weight nicely. I have other carriers that are way more expensive and don't really fit much better at all.
As mentioned I don't notice the corners not being clipped at all.

Dude, you totally need a bigger plate, lol.
