Can you folks recommend plates for a Banshee -

What should I expect to pay?
I'd like to pick up the back and front plates first, and the CB plates at a later time.
That way I don't break the bank with one purchase.

no side plates
Don't pay more than $225 per plate unless you're getting super light weight

Whatever side plate holder you want to buy. There are milsurp 8"x8" (?) USMC plate pockets for cheap. Look around for side plates, but they aren't very cheap.

Unless your cummerbund has integral pouches you're going to need to put some plate pouches on to carry side plates. I don't think the banshee has integral side plate pouches.

Side plates aren't built for comfort they're built to stop fast moving pointy things from going into your squishy place.

As previously stated the banshee can't take side plates unless you buy the pouches and attach them to the molle. It does have a pocket seen into the cumberbund to take soft armor.

I see.

Can anyone show me soft armor that will fit the CB?

The Velocity Systems soft armor that SKD sells fits perfectly in the Banshee side cumberbund pockets.

Those aren't Velocity Systems, hence my confusion.

If the PIG work well with the banshee, I'll pick those up.

Sorry, you are correct. The PIG soft inserts fit the Banshee. I have the Velocity front and rears. I was mistaken.

Pardon on high jacking this thread.  I also do have a Banshee.  I have been wondering and looking for info if Banshee or any other merchants makes any groin or lower abdomen and/or neck plate that would attach to a Banshee?  Thanks.
