Pricey yet worthy - VISM Polyethylene Ballistic Plate

I've been buying and upgrading armor for decades, largely as a mechanism of my police and police training career. The obvious threat level increase --- from handgun threats to rifles, has necessitated constant reevaluation. These polyurethane plates have enabled me to retain Level III+ protection while cutting weight by 2/3s, compared to Level III steel plates. In addition, these plates are buoyant in water. The only drawback? Price. But you likely won't find them sold for less, anywhere.
