These will be avaliable end of February
US SAPI Medium is 9.5 x12.5 inch total overall size is 10x 12.75 x1 inch thick.
Sapi medium is ideal from most people as it's a little bit longer then 10x12.
3.650 kgs +/- 2%

So these will for sure fit a medium plate carrier? Just want to make sure before I order a custom carrier.

Small for small SAPI and commercial 8”x10” plates
o Medium for medium SAPI plates
o Large for large SAPI and commercial 10”x12” plates
o XL for extra large SAPI plates

This is from ferros website on the slickster..

"SIZE MEDIUM FITS - MEDIUM SAPI, ESAPI, SWIMMER PLATE, 10"x12" up to 10”x12.25“x1”"

Your plates are 1/4" too long and they claim the carrier fits sapi medium. I'm not sure if that 1/4" would make a difference in fitment however but they may not fit every carrier that says it'll take medium sapi.

I wish you had a slickster on hand to test fit!!

What would be a good fit for 11*14 plates that I currently have.

No it should not be an issue.
Ceramic specs are +/- 5mm
We have have tested out plates in crye jpc med as well as other sapi spec plate they are tight with no slack but fit.
We are building our plates to thr same spec as Hesco sapi. Right down to the 3mm impact foam on the edge and strike face
