$400 Armor Setup

Awesome! Matt over at Jerking the Trigger has a great writeup posted about a very affordable armor kit.
He does all the hard work for you and provides some links to carrier and plates that would come in under $400 and weigh about 13 pounds. Nice!

Many people never purchase armor because they think it is expensive and, for the most part, they are right. It is expensive. However, sometimes it is not as expensive as people think. If you know where to look, you can get into a plate carrier and plates for around $400. I am not talking about a bottom of the barrel, less than ideal set up either. A quality armor set up is attainable for around $400 (maybe even less than $400).
