$37.50 that's the cheapest I have seen for level III. To waive Free return in cart and get an even lower price - Coupon "SPRING15" for 15% off first 3 orders.

EDIT: It has coating not a raw steel plate. It does not have the "full spall coating" that is an upcharge.

Doubtful it's a spall coating. Most likely just a coating to prevent rust

You are correct

How would something like this in a plate carrier compare to a bullet proof vest? Looking for something in a shtf situation.
 
The maker is charging $46 for the "full spall coating" and that's for two plates so $23/each.

Most of the spall lining I have seen is some polymer "rhino liner" spray on type material of about a 1/4 thick or so. It does pretty good.

At that price you can't find raw unbent/not curved new steel plates.
 
So is the deal in the OP for 1 curved and 1 flat plate? I figured they were both curved.
