The cheapest one I see on Amazon is called the Gfire and looks a lot like the old Condor. I'm sure it wouldn't hold up in the sandbox for 6 months, but has something like padded shoulders and should hold up fine for larping in the basement...or in case peaceful protests break out in your neighborhood for a couple nights.
But there's a reason why my slickster has Level III lightweight PE plates now instead of ceramics.
The last Condor plate carrier I saw actually had padded shoulders where the slickster doesn't. And that makes a difference with 16lbs of Ceramic Armor. There's a reason why I went with lightweight level III PE plates this time around.
This is the way. But I would skip the condor and go slickster for comfort.
If you can find it in stock....
