It’s Friday not Fry-yay. Some of work through the weekend. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t be comfortable with my CQB from #CatiArmor and most importantly a hot cup of coffee☕️.

Here some delicious AR500 plates I purchased via CATI Armor. They measure at 0.25in (6.35mm) in thickness, each plate weighs about 8lbs. The plates are covered in a 1/4in coating of  Rhino Linings Military Polyurea (Similar to  Line-X Paxcon used by AR500Armor) for spall/splatter mitigation.  The data sticker (as you can see) shows a manufacture date of March 3rd, 2016...a day after I placed my order, talk about “freshly made”. It boass an NIJ Standard 0101.06 rating (7.62x51mm/M80 Ball) for the plate and made in the US too boot, what more could I ask for. The carrier is the Condor Sentry a very affordable, low profile, well fitting carrier...and I’m a big guy, with a small wallet (the flag is mine). Now, there is plenty of hate for Condor, but I’ve never been disappointed with them. They provide decent gear at an affordable price point, which suits me just fine. Now that’s not to say I wouldn’t snap-up a LBT Slick 6094a with some ESAPI if I have the doesh, but I don’t, so I get what I can afford. Once you get the plates inserted and have adjusted the carrier to fit comfortably and properly placed some the top of the plate is even with the top of your sternum the weight becomes negligible, and in terms of movement, articulation, ect... it’s hardly hinders.  16lbs might be a bit weighty for some, but over time you forget it’s there, but I am a big guy...both weight and mass wise. After a 10% discount code, total cost of the Sentry Carrier Package from CATIArmor; $153.00 w/ free shipping. Not too shabby. Shipping was very quick, and as noted above...was FREE, even if I had to wait a week or two, free shipping more than makes up for that. http://www.catiarmor.com/
