This seems like a really appealing option to have plates and pouches(or just a front plate) for 200 bucks.  It can withstand multiple hits and is IIIA, can anyone here recommend it or for a HD/SHTF/etc. scenario, would I be better off getting a more expensive plate carrier for more versatility/protection (i.e. Level IV).

I plan to run it in conjunction with a battlebelt.

I picked one of these up not too long ago. I wanted something simple I could keep under the bed and put on in five seconds in a "bump in the night scenario."  I beefed it up with another Kevlar panel in the back and dropped a plate in front. It holds three extra AR mags and a 22 round mag for my G23. Mine is well made and looks like it will serve my purpose well.

They do have one called an Air Save that has (level iv?) rifle plates front and back.

They're about $400-$450 if you can find 'em.

Atlatic did have some, I should have gotten one then.

I'm trying to figure out if it will suit my needs, once I go into the 400+ range, a whole host of options open up, but its quite difficult otherwise to get a plate setup at the $200 dollar range.

I have been thinking about picking one up, and added a pouch for a trauma plate. Something like this positioned over your heart:http://thetargetman.com/?product=rhino-lined-ar500-omega-armor-side-plates-formed-for-comfort





Seems like it would give you a quick to put on and light weight package, but still offer decent protection, I only wish the plate backers were a little bit longer.
