So I know the new hotness today is rifle plates. But let's face it, Im a regular guy and unless we are fighting state or paramilitary actors I'm an order of magnitude or more likely to face pistol caliber stuff in my everyday life then rifles. And also unless we have the 2nd american civil war kick off, im not going to be walking around in a plate carrier with spare mags and stuff hanging off it with a AR.
Instead what im looking for is some kind of concealable soft body armor, thinner is better. Something I can wear under a zip up hoodie or light jacket or button and have it be concealed with my CCW, very much in line with what Varg talks about with concealment and counter ambush in the civilian setting.
So im interested what kind of stuff would you guys recommend and what things to avoid? Im pretty much totally new to the whole body armor world.
Also, I know it was a thing in the 90s, does there exist the ability to put rifle trauma/fullsize plates behind modern soft concealable vests? If things ever were to kick off to a higher level maybe having the ability to throw some steel in, and a ballistic battle belt to have more ballistic protection as well as to be able to quickly add on all the tactical stuff like rifle reloads/IFAKs etc and I just prefer running things off the belt anyways
