You missed the Kota deal a few weeks back. Level 4 plates with a carrier for 220 dollars shipped.

It seems like it’s kinda like ammo- if you can get it, it’s a good deal.
I got my 3+ plates a month ago after waiting a month for them. I can only imagine the last 2 months have gotten worse. And it’s nice to not haul steel plates, feels good man. |

Best idea is order something to get on the wait list. My plates were ordered in Jan with a 6 to 8 week lead time. It took 12. From RMA. Would buy again and am considering ordering another set.
You have 15 weeks to election. |

Why do people wait to get things when theyve been so cheap and available for years

Depends on your lead time.
You want in stock right now I think you've got to hunt around and probably spend $380+ for the set - there's some on Gunbroker with PC for $400. I'd follow r/gundeals and check in at Kota, SierraTac, ATArmor and PewPewTactical to see if they have stock. If you're fine waiting "2-10 weeks" then there's a bunch of options but the prices are jacked and you might be waiting until November. There's some in the EE too

There was a seller on eBay out of Florida selling Saint-Gobain plates, price was pretty fair and shipped quickly. You have to read the ad carefully because one of his listings (the cheapest one) required you to laminate extra stuff to the plate to achieve multi hit lvl protection.

I bought my level 4 5.5lb multicurve plates from them for $264 per plate. Found a coupon through a youtube channel, pretty sure it was "the gun penguin" that brought my total to around 450 shipped. This was a month ago and I had the plates in about 10 days from order |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's not the lead time that's the issue with botach. I'm well aware of their reputation. Well aware. That said - maybe I'm just lucky (doubtful) but I've never had a bad experience with them. I ordered a Battle Steel level IV plate for research purposes from them back in June (I forget the exact date) but received an email last week saying they would be available approx July 27th... we'll see. |
