    There's no size guide. It also doesn't offer any ballistic protection as there's no kevlar or plates.

    So how is this a "kit" when it's missing these parts and do you sell them?

    They had XL kits, but sold out.

    Similar to how a plate carrier is still a plate carrier without the armour. That is a full kit for the Osprey system. Cummerbund and all. If you want plates, find a retailer that has them and pick your level of protection. Safe to assume as a piece of UK kit, if we use our brains and google UK military sizing guides, we can figure out how close they are to NA. It's amazing what a little bit of thinking will accomplish.

    Where do you think the best place to get plates for these? Do you know what kind of plates they take?

    SJ hardware has some plates still I believe, both AR500 and Ceramic I think.

    Apparently they take some weird plate style called ECBA and that changed based on the variation. I would have a look online to see what can be done.

    So the pieces (neck/shoulder) are not like a flak jacket?
    pandering to paranoia produces pointless prosecutions of people

    Still seems like a good price. Is there anything in the neck shoulder pieces?
