Just a little something for the bungee cord fund. Thank you for all the work you do to inform consumers about armor performance - your dedication to this topic is valuable and appreciated! Given your first hand experience and understanding of the products, it would be really special to hear your thoughts in an annual review video recapping the best armor in various categories (by level, cost, weight, etc). All the best to you and your family and thank you again for making this educational content to share with us.
My issues is objectively rating them. I have this list which makes sense in my mind. As an example, the Highcom 3S9M is at the top because it's stopping M80A1 all while being sub 6lbs. It's more expensive than the RMA 1092 though. I rated the SAS Hexar lower because it's more expensive and when compared to the G2/3S9M, it let an M80 ball shot through.

Very useful getting a rough listing. Would be cool to see the militech rf2 SIC added eventually
@@gammatheta491 I just tested that this last weekend.
@@BuffRANGE thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and this list. I value your opinion even if it is subjective as it is informed by your first hand experience which is the most comprehensive I’m aware of. All the best!
When are we gonna get official Buffman certifications on plates?
I would not buy the L210 but the L211 was very impressive
Good on Hesco for improving on their product once its shortcomings were revealed!
Yeah I would say the PE benefits make it a much more capable plate..
Was looking at these plates. As always amazing channel! Thanks
Thank you very much!
Best tests on RUclips! Would consider this or the 3810
Matt, what plates would you choose for yourself?
Im going dizzy comparing all of the ratings, weights, & prices.
Lightweight seems to be the specialty of SRT plates, but many of those seem to have high backface deformation (maybe my perception is incorrect on this side of the screen). So, the next logical thought is "What is the lightest level 4 that performs well?"
Thank you for all that you do for us.
This is my current list. It values stopping threats as the priority as well as build quality, weight/thickness, and price. Level IV while multi-hit capable aren't as robust as doing that as some of the newer RF2 plates to an extent. If you don't need AP protection look at the III+ recommendations. If you don't need .308 protection a multi-curve SRT option is viable, but you will still lose out on BFD with those even with 5.56

We need to get you a 26 inch barrel for that
22 Creedmoor
Imagine the velocity then!
Instead of a number the chronograph reading would just display ‘OMG’
I would love to see a new test of the Hexar TiB2
Is Al /Stealth Armor currently selling? Maybe I'll have to see if he's game. The specs have it as a big contender in the RF2 spec sheet at 4.8 lb.
Buffman, when there's foam around the edges, does it clearly feel like foam or is deceiving enough that one would need to peel back the cover to know?
Thank you for what you do!
You sometimes won’t know because it could be a rigid foam, so you’d have to pull cover or stab it with a sharp knife
Dayum didn’t get a notification 📣 for this weird !
Dang RUclips! How dare they! Glad you found it!
I just got a pair of these a couple weeks ago. They’re really light and comfortable. Nice to know it can take some hits.
13:40 That's surprisingly awesome. Velocity is usually the armor killer. I guess not always, lol.
Not always. It's dependent on bullet construction and the material used in the armor :D
22 creedmore really sends them!
Yeet cannon extreme !
If you could customize an SRT plate what would you want it to stop, how much would you like it to weigh, and how thin would you want it to be
It would need to perform like the M210 or RMA ESRT plate. The issue becomes that at the weights those plates come in at, you can get a III+ coverage for not much more of a hit. It would have to be about .5-.75" thick tops.
Thank you as always
My pleasure!
Thank you for the detailed reviews.
No problem 👍
Is that the same backer M210 uses? I remember the M210 did better than the L210.
Without them telling me, it’s same type
Of material; UHMWPE. Could be different grade though.
Please do a Bradley armor test 🎉
The side skirt ? It’s been sitting waiting. I’ve been trying to think how to do it
@@BuffRANGE no problem man looking forward for it
