Does anyone have any experience with First Choice plates (now renamed Diamondback, IIRC)?
I recently picked up an older 2008-production PE plate from them, and want to try to learn a bit about it...it's labeled a VBBS2 model, which in looking at old part catalogues seems to imply it may be designed as a neutral buoyancy plate. It claims to be NIJ 05 level III, but doesn't state whether it's designed as a stand-alone or ICW. It's rather thick for a PE plate at 1.6", and I'm curious what it's actually rated to stop... And now I still need to find a carrier of some kind that will fit a plate that thick. Anyone got any clues? |

I saw your email inquiry to DBT earlier. That is a stand alone plate. Tested to NIJ 04/05IR standards. 7.62 M80 ball at 2750fps. I didn't see any test reports for special threat testing on that model. I'll search the network again on Monday for special threat stuff. CHRIS |
