So I'm here in Europe and looking into getting a decent stab vest that also has impact protection. They are expensive as fuck, 500 - 700 euroes each, out of my budget at the moment.

So I'm considering the possibility of getting a hard plate carrier + large steel plates. It would provide equal protection if not better at a decent price + will also provide ballistic protection.

Now here is a question, what is the coverage like for the biggest plates available? From what I've seen on the photos, they cover mainly chest area, but lower stomach is exposed. Are there bigger options than that? Also sides would be exposed, I know, but stab vests in general offer very poor side coverage so it wouldn't be a huge difference.

What are your thoughts?

You gotta heft the shit, don't forget that.

If you want a good rundown on good armor, look up details on the Hollywood shootout. Those fuckers were armored to the point that an entire police department couldn't hurt them

I'm think of a home defense scenario, so weight is not an issue.
