At this price, gonna say definately say, No. It's a good place to start for sure. Just know that AR500 Armor 10x12 Level III curved steel plates with Paxon build up coating are $98. Each. 2 plates will weigh 18-20 lbs. Want lighter and more protection like Level IV? You're gonna pay A LOT more. Hope this helps.
