GH Armor systems is well-respected name in the law enforcement/EMS world, and we scored a fantastic-looking lot of soft armor inserts from 2016-2018. They're razor thin, very light, and easy to use in either covert or overt applications. Obviously, they make for capable inserts you can either shoot for your own enjoyment or use at your own risk — we can't guarantee these to the original NIJ specs, and not to any specs either, such is the nature of surplus.
What you are getting is a cheap way to stuff your armor carrier in a clone-correct way - the panels should fit in just about any BALCS-style carrier so you can get your early GWOT on or put the finishing touch on your Rainbow Six cosplay...
For those interested in learning more about the NIJ's rating system, these are level II, which can be read about more .
Despite the lower rating, the panels are also insanely lightweight. The GH panels clock in around 1.4 to 1.7lbs depending on size (smaller sizes weigh less). That means you can have Level II protection around your torso for about 3-3.5lbs.
