not compared to the ceramic ones that are military issue, which are close to 15lbs each.






Were they really? Hell, they're making stand alone ceramics that weigh half as much...and you don't even want to know how much those ultra-light polyethylene plates weigh.








Like 3 pounds, but $$$$$.

yeah man, the whole rig, which was just the carrier, front and back plates, was about 33-35lb, and adding the side plates which I think are about 5-7lbs your already about 40lbs without other gear like med pouch, ammo, radio, rifle etc. I think the whole rig topped out at about 65-70lbs.
