So....
Who here is serious about large plates ?
We have not had those since last summer, but we do get asked Lot.
We planing a small run of these in late may.
These would be ESAPI large, triple curved 1pc ceramic.
And of course NIJ certified
we woukd be looking at Roind $1100 per set. .

As you know, almost no one stocks large plates, not the Chinese cra*p plates.

This is,why we are looking at doing a small run.

Please post here if your are interested.

Yes - interested. 6’5” and 230lbs.

Have never been medium anything in my life so while I’m sure I could get away with it, why not get the right size

Would love to understand more…..seems like a hard topic for non mil/leo to get info on, and every store seems to provide conflicting advice that feels a bit like buy this because we have it in stock.

my understanding is that even an overweight person has all their organs in the same place as a thin person.

How does that change with someone tall?

Who should buy an L plate vs. an M plate?

 

[zupermann]

12" x 15" for good back coverage. BUT something like this wouldnt fit in current plate carriers/vests

The issue is fitment, if you have 50 pounds of on your chest and back and gun there a good chance, that you organs are going to be in the same place as a normal person, because you are not really that big, you are just fat.
now take the same weight class, and say they are 6,5 with a 55 chest there is likely going to have larger as the parson is going to have bigger bones and organs will be larger to do adapting to the work for the larger fitter body.

What measurements are needed to recommend a fit?

 

[K1LLswitch]

Bump: any guidance to be provided on sizing?

 

[cycoblade]

Not a lot of options for carriers for large size plates unfortunately.

 

[K1LLswitch]

Not looking for a carrier.

Looking for what body measurements one should have for a large plate vs. a medium plate.

Measure nipple to nipple & sternum notch to belly button then minus 3”

I got a large carrier and put medium plates in because it fit better…

Are you guys getting side plates in stock?
