The 4asa4’s are older standard made for Ukraine but ovreproduced.
They’re 99/plate at a couple places now, which is ridiculous. It’s been like that for about 2 months, and probably will be for a while. But eventually they’ll run out.
The issue is the old standard doesn’t have “drop testing” and these won’t withstand a drop, they’ll crack.
Quick edit:
And I know they’re cringe.
But you can’t deny police treat a protest differently when the other side has people in vests and rifles.
That’s the only reason I’m recommending it.
But yeah, 20lbs doesn’t sound like a lot till you’re carrying it around all day. But wearing it out to a protest for 6 hours is a good way to get in shape.
I don’t think body armor is cringe, I just cringe at the thought of having to wear it, and starting someone down the rabbit hole of battle rattle full kit larping.
