Ummmmm YES!!!! I did miss your spreadsheet!!!! Wow!!!!! You actually DID have exactly what I wanted 🙂 Not sure how I missed it but in retrospect, it kind of looks like an advertisement and I guess it just never caught my attention, but thank you for bringing it to it!!!! That now makes this article, hands down, the absolute best guide that can be found anywhere on the subject of bullet proof vests!!!! Thank you for taking all that time to put together a guide, just to make it simple for ME 🙂
Sorry, but even though I found the info great, your layout of choices is just horrible and confusing to help you decide what is what. Your choices should clearly show what it’s made out of. Instead of saying best protection, say best protection in steel best protection in ceramic, best protection in… I’m having to hit each individual link and then spend a couple minutes just trying to find out what the plate is made of and how much it weighs. That information SHOULD be displayed on your side and not the sellers side. Just saying best protection doesn’t say much to me if I don’t know the weight and what it’s made out of! For such an in-depth article, as I said the information provided is fantastic, I’m just shocked you didn’t make it much simpler when the time came to have us make a choice by displaying under each plate what it’s made out of, what its protection is, and how much it weighs, as well as the cost. That would be a true buyers guide!! But I am very confused about one point. So am I to understand correctly, that when it comes to the new poly plates, since they will not Defeat M855, that there is NO poly plate available in a level III+ or level IV? That buyer MUST go with steel or ceramic or possibly a hybrid?
