    You can actually cut it out of the carrier.
    Inside is the softarmour glued to ceramic plate inside another cover.
    If you cut them out out of that cover, then you can access the plates, and soft armour. if you use brute force, flathead and some leverage, you can cam the plate from the soft armour.

    I suppose that this stuff could fit inside modern plate / armour carriers. The soft armour would have to be trimmed to BALCS template. Good luck trying to find a pair of shears that will cut through kevalr.

    BUt all the sweat, not sure if its worth it.
    Just use tin snips..

    Bans on body armor are contrary to the charter section 7. The very first time someone gets charged with possession, puff - out of the window goes legislation (if the lawyer is worth at least as much as his jacket).
    "The semi-automatic weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons — anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun — can only increase that chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons." — Josh Sugarmann, 1988

    The one I got from frontier a couple of years ago didnt smell but it does have a name on theinside of it. I was thinking of cutting out the plates but they are to big for my carrier and dont wanna ruin them by chopping it up. Ohwell it is still pretty good.

    I've got some of the Irish stuff. Nicely made, the carrier is fine, quite comfortable, but not "tactical" enough for the well equiped mall ninja. It is heavy though, about 20 lbs. Just for giggles I suited up: Fatigues, boots, vest, water, load bearing gear with 300 rounds, overnight rucksack, rifle & backup pistol with 50 rounds. Then I went up and down the stairs a couple times. When I came to, I had a new appreciation for the fitness level of a grunt. My hat's off to you people.

    Great! My procrastination just saved me about three hundred bucks.

    Harbl, I just read your sig line, "I don't mind that 90% of the wealth is held by 10% of the population. What I REALLY mind is that 89% of the wealth is held by 1% of the population."
    What I really mind is that I don't even make the 90% with 10%.
