Point Blank or pretty much any other Mfg. (or really the distributors & retailers) should be able to help you out - off the top of my head I can't recall but its been forever since I purchased a concealable vest, make some calls & shoot some emails to different company's & retailers. If nothing else keep the cover for discrete use...

Best price on stand alone level 3 plates is going to be the TAP Gamma plates on eBay...$230-250 shipped for a pair of 10x12 shooters cut plates.

As far as I know, "concealable" isn't exactly a standardized cut.[/quote] Correct - depending on the dimensions of the concealable armor - you should be able to work with these gray ghost carriers in question. Although, it wont be anything like a traditional plate carrier in most respects....... |

I have a shitty issued level 2 vest for work, and a pig pc with level 4 plates from dsg arms currently. Basically, I'm just looking to get some extra stuff to keep around. |

Just an example here - I have a couple PC's for SHTF - I keep SA plates in all 4 or 5 pc's, if I should have time I also have BALCS cut 3A armor in a low profile carrier that can also accept plates. This carrier acts as a semi concealable vest & can be worn under any of the PC's for added protection (& weight). ETA pic for idea's carrier under PC...

If you want stand-alone rifle plates, get the TAP Gammas or the Midwest MASS III.
If you want a truly concealable plate, the EXO is the absolute best thing going right now. It's about 0.25" thick, weighs less than a pound, has a ten year warranty, and even though rated for "three or more rounds of...", it will stop over 10 rounds of .45 ACP or 9mm. It's pretty badass. |

For stand alone plates, I would wait until SKD gets the BAE stand alone plates back in. They are SAPI cut and weigh a lot less than standard level IVs.
For soft armor, measure yourself properly for concealed cut armor (no need to get standard sizes) and order it from bulletproofme.com. They will have your custom cut panels out to you very fast. If you want a standard size, just let them know which one, and you will have your panels the same week. |

Exo is a pistol rated trauma plate that's ICW level 2 soft armor. Hardly a concealable "plate", most people link the word plate to reference rifle rated material |
