I don’t know what the NIJ certification for RMA Supply is… I looked into them more and discovered that a company in Kansas called LTC (Leading Technology Composites) is manufacturing their armor. LTC is fully NIJ 06 certified.

EnGarde offers a concealable solution which gives a NIJ Level III or Level IV protection. The EnGarde Dual Use Vest: http://www.engardebodyarmor.com/concealable-body-armor.htm#dual
This is be a great option for persons that do not want to look like Rambo but still have maximum protection against (assault) rifles.

A more economical option is the EnGarde T.R.U.S.T.™ plate carrier:

No.. try RMA Supply. Take it from a Marine who has been overseas a couple times.

My armor is ceramic Kevlar. I bought from a Michigan based company called RMA Supply. I’ve been talkin’ them up simply because I personally know many Marines currently deployed and we all wear RMA. They make the best shit without question. Their plates for Level IV are less than 1 inch thick and weigh less than 6 pounds. Their Level III plates that I have weigh about 5 pounds and are about a half inch thick. I’ll never wear steel plates again after seeing how tough RMA’s armor is. Their Level IV ceramic armor plate took a hit from a .300 Win mag and there wasn’t even a bump on the back of the fabric. That same plate was also shot 9 times with armor penetrating rounds and even point blanc with a 12 gauge shotgun and it held up strong. No blunt force trauma and the back of the plate still had the label stuck to the back. Find me another armor plate that can hold up like that. You wont. Thats why my and the rest of my infantry Marines buy RMA armor.

Like I said in my comment above… look up RMA Supply. They have the best prices and the strongest toughest armor in the world. I don’t know how they make it but it’s impressively strong. They are awesome and I’m proud to wear their armor plates when deployed overseas.

Steel plates are not tactical in my professional opinion. They are significantly heavier and are not even to the comparison in the armor that I’ve been using. I buy from an American made company called RMA Supply. One of the founders of that company is a former Marine so I gladly support us fellow Marines. Anyway RMA Supply produces incredibly strong Kevlar armor that stops higher ballistics then what other companies offer. They have a video out showing that their armor is better. The video shows the company owners shooting the shit out of their armor. RMA Supply has the best Kevlar armor plates on the market trust me. They are ceramic and impressively tough. They are also waterproof which for us Marines is perfect. Somebody over at their office told me they have a patent pending on their armor so however their making it is awesome. I wont be deployed again without wearing their armor. And no I don’t work for them, just very impressed with them. RMA Supply has awesome prices for what you get too. Their Level III plates that stop .30-06 FMJ start at $149.99 the last I checked.
