L210 plates if you're on foot, ceramic Lvl 4's if you're defensive in position. No steel. Key to comfort is to get some ventilation between you and PC via padded pontoons or some such. Get multicurve if you can swing it.

Helmets are arguably just as important, probably more so if explosions are anticipated.
