The 8years code takes another 20% off the sale price. Can get the Freeman with flat plates for $99, doesn’t get any cheaper than that.
The updated and highly-rated Shotstop GT2 plates are actually in stock at https://www.venture-tactical.com
These plates are lighter and thinner than their ceramic/UHDPE counterparts. 10% off with code on website and additional discounts for first responders.

What do you guys think of these:
Level IV HESCO 4401 Set of 2?
They seem to be very inexpensive compared to what I have been seeing - makes me feel like I am missing a drawback/limitation or something.

Is it the 6 week or more wait? I agree seems like almost like a GymRatz deal (sorry, I couldn't resist).
Not familiar - what happened with Gym Ratz?
There's a super thread in his own forum on how unreliable he has become.

Great plates for the money. NIJ lvl IV certified and made by a reputable company. Kota outfitters is G2G. They have a huge following on reddit for deals. However I bet that backorder is 8+ weeks right now. Great deal though.

Good plates from a reputable company. Downsides are that they're only single curve and are on the heavy side. Solid choice for plates if you're not planning on spending a lot of time running around in them.
You guys sound pretty knowledgeable on the topic. Can you recommend any sites to do research? I'm as green as can be on them.

I'm definitely no expert, but I've watched a couple youtube videos so...
I can't vouch for the quality of the guidance here, but it's a decent place to start researching: https://old.reddit.com/r/QualityTacticalGear/comments/cmkton/armor_purchasing_guide/
tldr; buy ceramic instead of steel, buy from an NIJ certified manufacturer, and lightweight multi-curve plates are nice but expensive
Also, many places are on 6-8 week backorders at the moment.

LAPG has their Level 4 plates back in stock. Shipping is a bit steep, but I paid $240 for a set with code L15G19AG.

Finally received my ar500 plates, it took just over 11 weeks. They weigh in at 22lbs with carrier. Feels a bit heavier then I thought it would, its deffinetly going to take some getting used to. It was extremely uncomfortable at first but it got better after some adjustments and wearing it for a while.
My ShotStop GT2 plates arrived. They are as light and thin as they claim.
