RMA 1092 vs Hesco L/M 210 or other?

Hope this is in the right section.

Im looking into getting a 1st PC setup and am leaning towards the RMA 1092 plates. The problem is I can’t find them in stock. I’m on a couple waiting lists at the moment.

The Hesco L210 and M210 are in stock and I’ve considered grabbing a pair and adding backers.

I don’t want to pay over $600’ish for plates and I’d like each plate to be around 5.5lbs or less which rules out all the level 4 plates in my price range. I have no interest in 8+ lb plates.

What are y’all’s thoughts on plates?

Personally I run Lvl 4, yes they are heavier but are rifle rated. Soft armor is also lvl 3 and lighter if not rifle rated... really safes weight and add comfort.

If going between your 2 choices, Hesco is it. RMR is the lowest respected plate but recently lost NIJ certification ( they are fighting it) so there's that.

Have you looked into Highcom armor? They are good and within your budget but I'm afraid probably over your weight limit.

Thanks. I’ll check out Highcom.
