I was listening to a recent P&S podcast and the consensus was that mixing soft and hard armor brands when going ICW if a bad idea.
My question is, is this necessarily so even with good brands? Due to my height (6'4") I'd need a SAPI Large sized hard armor plate or something less covering that might acutally allow for greater mobility. At present I'm thinking of the Large sized Mayflower LPAC vest with the matching Velocity VS-63A1 Soft Armor package.
Then I want from amongst the lightest Large SAPI or similarly sized Swimmer Cut ceramic plates that can withstand M193 and M855. Velocity doesn't make a special threat protective plate (so III+ type lightweight armor plate) that's larger than 10" x 12. So would something from an outfit called Chase Tactical, their RSTP Rifle Special Threat Plate III+ ICW, be acceptable or does mixed armor get you killed in the streets, as the hipster shooters say?
