For those not in the know. -
Inconsistent QA and tendency for the plates to lose effectiveness around 120F(easily reached where body armor is most needed).
Disclaimer - I have not used it personally and only information is from testing reports/more knowledgeable people that deployed when it was first fieldedComment

I've never touched it, but the articles and threads I've read on the interwebz all agree that the stuff is more hype than anything else.
Susceptible to high temps, holes in the armor as they break, inconsistent performance.

I'd stick with Level III plates for protection from rifle rounds."You will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it."
