Good camouflage.
No body armor covers the entire body. No body armor stops .50 cal rounds.
A soft vest (mark III) will stop 9mm bullets. Hard plates (mark IV) bump that up to regular rifle rounds.
Also concealed armor. If they don't know you have it, they'll aim for the chest.
mark IV sounds like what I'm looking for. Rifles are my primary concern.
you better hope they shoot you once center mass. Don't plan on getting shot, much more mobile without
Look for something that will stop M855A1. That's going to be lvl 4 or a special threat plate. Bite the bullet and pay more for a lighter plate.
The mark IV plates will still only cover vitals and that only from certain angles.
