It defeats AP 5.56, but not AP or point blank .30 cal (again, IIRC). Level IV defeats AP up to .30-06, Level III doesn't. L210's fit somewhere in the middle and are also not rated/tested for multi-hit suvivability (again, IIRC).
Makes perfect sense. I live in AL and Im sure there are a ton of green tips out there along with every hunting round imaginable. I just bought a Crye Precision JPC 2.0.
Crye sizes their carriers for SAPI plates. so if you bought a medium carrier it will fit medium SAPI plates, and so forth. A medium carrier may fit a 10x12 plate, a large will fit a 10x12.
I measured my chest and it's 47. The Crye JPC 2.0 XL is between 46 and 49.You did it backwards and probably want to cancel your order. 10x12’s should be used in a Medium carrier. You might email Crye and ask if they have any Medium Swimmer’s Cut carriers in stock, I bought mine at the worst time and they had them in stock. Swimmer’s cut aren’t as high demand and that’s what the L210 plates are.
Body armor sizing:
1. Size the plates to fit your vitals zone (collarbone down to diaphragm, and width of lungs)
2. Pick plate carrier size that matched your plates (medium carriers fit medium plates; large carriers fit large plates)
3. Size Cummerbund to fit *you*. The standard cummerbund on any plate carrier generally fits almost all modestly healthy people. If you’re a giant or very overweight you may need larger.

How to choose the right size of Plate Carrier We get a lot…and I mean a lot of questions regarding the sizing of a plate carrier. People usually say, “I wear a large shirt, should I get a large Slickster Plate Carrier?” Check this out guys and gals! The size of the carrier has nothing to do...ferroconcepts.com
Actually the L210 says this, so it's not a swimmers cut: Enter the Hesco L210, a lightweight, single curve, multi-hit, standalone Special Threat Plate in Shooters Cut.You did it backwards and probably want to cancel your order. 10x12’s should be used in a Medium carrier.

Swimmer’s cut aren’t as high demand and that’s what the L210 plates are.
I wear XL shirts, and I have a Medium plate carrier with 10x12’s. I’m going to switch to a more full featured carrier with Large SAPI’s just for the sake of my two setups needing to be more diverse than they are.

Ha ha man this stuff is confusing for newbs. I need to call Crye and ask them what size they think I need. Because I don't understand their sizing since my chest fits an XL.
No disrespect toward you, but the cummerbund is usually fitted for the waist. and goes outside the plate carrier. Here's a good site for equipment and visuals:

No disrespect taken. You're being a great help and I really appreciate it! Oh and I canceled my Crye order.No disrespect toward you, but the cummerbund is usually fitted for the waist. and goes outside the plate carrier. Here's a good site for equipment and visuals:

You're welcome. John's videos really help a lot and I strongly recommend that anyone who is considering purchasing armor should view before they buy. You don't want to have buyer's remorse due to not being well informed. It ain't cheap.
Are those videos on this site: https://warriorpoetsupplyco.com/body-armor/
They sure are. If memory serves me right these are closer to 10x12 plates.
Indeed. Cummerbund doesn’t have anything to do with the chest. However, the cummerbund does control how tight it is around your body. Another tidbit for you guys us that I see most people out there wearing them too loose! You want it just tight enough to feel pressure on your diaphragm. Not so much where you can’t breathe but just a little bit of pressure. You’ll just have to play with it to get it right. Also to note, if you have bad kythosis you might want to spend the money for multicurved plates. If you go single curve and have bad kythosis you might see that it pushes the back plate out at the bottom. You can cinch the cummerbund and adjust the carrier to minimize it as much as possible but this is something to be aware of as not everyone has perfect backs.No disrespect toward you, but the cummerbund is usually fitted for the waist. and goes outside the plate carrier.

If you go to hesco.com, the dimensions for all their plates are available. Your kind of getting in the weeds. Your overthinking all this.
Ha ha man you're right. I'm definitely an over thinker. I just don't want to order this stuff and it not be right.
the JPC 2.0 XL will be perfect. measure your chest and if it’s close to their sizing guide go up one. This will allow for layers under to fit. Don’t get the swimmers cut version in my opinion, the. You can only use swimmer or shooter cut plates. Get the regular 2.0, it can use any of the plates. If you don’t like it, someone here will buy it I guarantee it
That's all the L210 comes in per their site: "Enter the Hesco L210, a lightweight, single curve, multi-hit, standalone Special Threat Plate in Shooters Cut."
I understand that. Shooter cut will work in any plate carrier but a shooter cut carrier can only use shooter cut
Roger that. I got an email back from Hesco and they said the L210 or the 4401level IV would be great items in my budget range.
That is not how crye does it. If you look at their sizing guide, they base it off chest size.
You need to size the Crye PC for whatever Plate size you are buying. I know they have the sizing guide with chest measurements for some reason, but like was stated before, if you order an XL and put medium or 10x12 plates in them, there will be a lot of extra room in the plate bag as the plate bag will be sized for an XL SAPI plate.
