Looks like we should have an equipment purchase loan coming out end of this month or next which means I'll get to buy my plates on works dime initially and pay a little bit back each check. I'm going with the 10x12 SAPI AT Armor STOP plates. I'm in need of a carrier though. I'm looking for it to either come with Swift Clips or the ability to mount them so I can use my EGL chest rig on it as well. I'd obviously prefer lightweight, durable, and comfy since I'm already going all in on this. I have no need to have a full cumberbund because I wont be mounting pouches there and not going to use side plates. This is a grab and go vest so I want it to have a quick donning ability which means I would prefer not to be screwing with velcro under my chest rig to wear it. Would like to keep the price somewhere below or around $300 if I can.
So far it seems like the AT Armor Plate Carrier, Velocity Systems LEPC with an upgrade to an Arbor Arms system, maybe the First Spear STT Plate Carrier from SKD? are my options. Anyone have anything else I should look at for this?
