There's like a billion choices. AR500 armor makes some. So does Crye. And Cati Armor. And Tyr Tactical. There's also this guy on Ebay if you want to go cheapo.

Keep in mind that a 6x6 soft panel isn't going to do shit about backface deformation. The bullet will still likely wind up several inches into your gut, along with the soft panel. There isn't enough surface area to distribute the energy across the aramid threads.

What PC do you have? Does it have pockets in the cummerbund?
Might get better responses if we knew what you were trying to fit. I have 8x6 plates in my cummerbund. I don't see them on the Midwest website anymore but I'm sure someone makes something similar. |

I have a First Spear Strandhogg. The cummerbund can accommodate a 6x6 panel. |

Are the plates flat? If so, will curved plates solve the comfort/fit problem?

To be a NIJ certified III panel the BFD in ballistic clay must be less than 44mm. This is as true for a 10x12 panel as a 6x6. The clay they use is designed to roughly simulate soft tissue, you have ribs which will add "structure" for lack of a better term to your body. While your ribs may break the bullet will not be a few inches deep as long as it's a round IIIa can stop.
