Hey Lev'ika right now I have a standard backplate... however... the first major upgrade I'm going to make to mine will be a segmented backplate that will look sort of like something I found online... give me a few minutes and I'll post it up in my AFSOC thread, since I'm going to post up some progress pictures.

have you seen the spine protectors that motorcycle rider use, they have segmented ones, you can get them and modify.

Ah yes the Swedish do make nice looking body armor don't they...

But on cheek got pulled out and pushed in a little bit during the first bondo. Coming back to haunt me now. Im thinking i just need to apply more bondo to make it level right?

That's what you'll have to do. :facepalm That is really a bummer though, any idea how it hapenned?

That POC motorcycle armor is I believe made by a Swedish company. www.pocski.com
The Ski version of this armor (See above) is MSRP $180.00, but is is vented so it breaths, but WOW $180.00

 

[kalika]

yeah that's a lil much! lol I think I'll just cut mine from a trashcan... $10 plus a few hours of my time on weekends... for which I don't get paid anyways so...lol
