Well, I like my RTS Level IV and carrier.
First off the customer service is A-1. For some reason my Black Friday discount code didn't apply. I emailed. 2 days later they responded saying they would refund me. The next day a Rep called asking if I wanted to forego the repayment for a mag holder. said "I got one," two days later was refunded the difference.
Without a lot of ammo, 300 rds, to waste through much practice I can only give this impression.
I've never worn body armor. It's heavy. These RTS level IV are ceramic so they are supposed to be lighter than steel plate. I suppose someone that has served and worn these understand. But, there is a significant weight factor.
Now, given the weight, the RTS load out was tight and centered. The vest is a good one. Well constructed.
I've shot standing, kneeling and on the ground side-prone. It's a weight, bulk, that can be adapted to.
My observation is this. If I were defending I would wear one. If I were doing standard patrols, I would wear one. If I were doing some miles of infil I'd forego it. Hit and run.
