Need replace those steel plates with Ceramic or Hybrids. They aren't $1200 a set anymore for NIJ rated stuff.
As much as people rag on Steel armor it had its place in time when it was $300 for a set of plates, trauma pads, and spall bags and Ceramic plates started at $600 each. Especially when it was "just in case" as steel plates in a cool dry place will last decades. Ceramic plates have an expiration date. While it's longer than the 5 years most put on their stuff the resin/epoxy/glue they use does start to degrade after 10 - 15 years. Also they were the right weight for training & competition purposes.
It's no longer "just in case" and Ceramic Level IV standalone plates are $300 a set for 4401's.
