Ballistic Plates Incoming

Good news, the shipment arrived in Vancouver and is currently on its way to us. We don’t have a firm eta as apparently there is some form of strike that is affecting shipments coming through the port of Vancouver, but we estimate between a week to two weeks now.

How about a open house/BBQ/Big sale for customers around the area come to pick up their orders or new customers to meet and shop? :dancingbanana:
 
Just wanted to say I really appreciate the consistent updates here. Customer service is shining. It's pleasant to log in on CGN and see an update regarding something ordered. Keep up the great work.

Thank you guys. We really do appreciate it, and with you guys trusting us with your hard earned money you deserve to be kept in the loop. Further update, strikes at the port seem to not be a thing, so we anticipate the order arriving at our warehouse sometime next week.
 
I'm relatively new to body armor but I had a question for you guys. I already own a nij IIIa soft armor and low profile carrier. If I purchased a hard plate level III or IV, Should I be wearing it in combination with my soft panels or would I wear it on it's own? I'm guessing there wouldn't be enough space in my carrier to hold both? I have a separate pocket for the 10x12 plate though (it's a Mayflower LPAC Armor carrier)...

Cheers!
 
Ideally, even with stand alone plate, you'd want to wear it paired with some kind of soft panel/trauma armor of level 2 and greater. As a bonus, it adds to confort with very minimalistic plate carrier that have next to no padding

It depends on the plate, typically a plate will indicate whether it is standalone (meaning it needs no soft armour to work at its rated threat level) or if it requires soft armour as well to work at that rated threat level. The ceramic plates currently for sale probably wouldn't benefit too much from the added soft armour, but the steel plates on the other hand might for the reason that spall is typically an issue with steel plates. Although steel plates may easily stop the rated threat, the spall ricocheting off the plate may still be fatal. If your soft armour is inserted in-front of the plate, it would be able to capture that spall. So if you're purchasing steel plates and the soft armour is inserted in-front of the plate, there may be a benefit. However, the ceramic and UHMWPE plates probably won't get much of a benefit from the addition of soft armour.
 
Just a question to you guys. We are currently working on soft armor and we are curious if you would be interested in an incredibly low profile IIA "vest"/almost undershirt which would retail for around 125-140CAD. It would have front back and side protection built in. We can also do IIIA but it would cost around 20% more.

Ok I understand that part. Unfortunately mine has the plate insert in front of the soft armour. I guess the standalone plates would be too thick to wear in combination with the soft armor? So then AITactical, Which hard plate do you guys have that would be thin enough to fit in my carrier with my soft panels?

Cheers!

How much room do you have available in your plate carrier. Our thinnest plate would be the steel Level III+, as they are only about 8mm-10mm thick.

I'm definitely interested in low profile soft armor. probably will choose IIIA, but not sure yet. would like to see how those look like - will you have samples?
