    However the price is not bad for a set compared to other options.
    I've been interested in getting some of their swimmer cut lvl 4 plates myself.

    I have been eyeing the swimmer cut as well. Plates have come a long way from when I started wearing them 16 years ago as an infantryman.

    No kidding. And at about 5lbs per plate for lvl 4 protection at $150 per single curve or $300 per triple curve. That is a significant weight and Wallet savings. Yes it is slightly less coverage, but the trade offs are definitely there for sure. Also $200 per pair for 6x6 Lvl 4 sides isn't bad either.

    I'll take another look at their site. I was waiting for a couple places to get back to me on some questions and the holidays to blow over since I'm spending a lot of money, plates aren't cheap. But I was really thinking of going with RMA.

    Actually let me make an adjustment, I had apparently looked at the wrong section on that and they aren't 5lbs. They are a little more.
