    Ok, thanks guys. I'm still kind of unsure though. According to Harbl bigger would not fit. Yet earlier in this thread someone mentionned that they slipped the plates into a condor vest which is advertised as having 10x13 plate pouch. The UTG is 17x13 at front and 16x10 in the back. Confusing. I'm tall but skinny (6'5" - 195lbs) so I probably don't want the very smallest plates. The Zombie Apocalypse is quickly approaching so I've got to make up my mind soon. LOL!!!!!!

    Wouldn't mind picking one up myself. What is the approximate shipping cost for one of these vests?

    Mine was just 2-3 days. Frontier has been suprisingly efficient in regards to shipping... with me so far anyway.

    Most stuff on FrontierFirearms does have free shipping but not the vests. However shipping is only $15.

    And UNAGI don't be silly, I'm talking about all the crossfire. duh.

    Not to be a thread necro, but could someone who has a vest put a tape measure on the height and width of their front and back plates please? You'll have my everlasting gratitude!

    Also, since I'm thinking about slipping the plates into an HSGI Wasatch, and want to get the biggest plate that will fit comfortably for me, did we ever get a conclusive answer on plate size variation from vest size to vest size?

    Briefly, I'm just wondering if the plates found in an XL vest are the same size as a cheaper Medium. I've got no real interest in the vest fabric - but I'd like the plates.

    Thanks in advance!

    Xtra large has two 10"wide x 12" high plates.
    If that helps.
